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.
