It's just a kind of prefering the one and not the other way.
For myself, in _this_ case, commandline is the more circuitous solution.
As synaptic requires root-privileges, I would not really get happy with it,
but dpkg-www seems to be a quite interesting alternative.
Altough, I'm still interested in the database of packages.debian.org
Is there any suggestion on how to find?
Or a reason, not to do it (it might be very large or restricted)?
