Bug#372818: "apt-cache show <pkg>" should indicate which file server pkg belongs to



Package: apt
Version: 0.6.44.1
Severity: wishlist

it would be nice if the first line of "apt-cache show <pkg>" output 
would indicate the server url that this package is 
located at.  i believe this will give users to be more confident about 
where the packages they are installing come from.  providing the release 
code name would also be useful.  thank you for your consideration.
