Oh! I didn't know about that option. Neat! I learned a new feature.
But that doesn't work on debian.tar.gz files. That works on .deb
files. A different problem! :-)
$ dpkg --info emacs23-common-non-dfsg_23.4+1-1_all.deb | grep ^Section:
Section: non-free/editors
Or if it is already installed:
$ dpkg --status emacs23-common-non-dfsg | grep ^Section:
Section: non-free/editors
