Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Priority: minor
Output of 'apt-cache search apt' for example shows two packages of
different versions. They are not labeled with the release(s) from
which they come. The output should include a Release: line so that I
don't have to go to http://packages.debian.org/apt to find out myself
each time. There are probably other ways to find this information,
but I still believe that the release should be part of the search
output text.
Thanks,

Hmm. The search output is intended to show the raw package information. It
is not really reasonable to express all the detailed release information
in that format. You should use apt-cache policy to determine what versions
come from where for a particular package. A single version may come from
many different sources.
