Well, same here... Was looking for this for a long time... But I am on
Sid, and there is a clash with the licensecheck script. It is based on
a script provided by kdesdk-scripts... So, is it safe to use "--force"
while installing devscripts from Sid?

dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/devscripts_2.10.3_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/licensecheck', which is also in package
kdesdk-scripts
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)

Moreover, some information on what are the possible arguments for the
various parameters of  "rmadison" (like, what are COMPONENT?) might be
useful..
