Feature Request



Hello apt-developers,

at first  - many thanks for writimng such nice package-management-tool !!

Apt is really great, and makes system-management very easy :-)

Somtimes I miss the possibility to limit the results of apt-cache.

If, i.e. i have releases of kde-software in "stable" and "unstable", and
my system
uses "testing" as default release - then it's sometimes a little bit
grindingly to
find out in which release a certain package is available.

A advance would be two commandline-switches for apt-cache which shows
additional
infrmation:

* the release-number

* the source of this package (stable, testing, unstable, unknown)

Regards


Marc Schöchlin
