Bug#456141: python-apt: no support for index files (Packages, Sources) in apt_pkg

["Lord of, St. Luke Valor" <lord.of.valor@gmail.com>]

All include header files e.g., iostream.h, iomanip.h, vector.h, etc., are simple text files. They may be browsed with any text editor e.g., vi, emacs, gedit, joe, notepad, nano, pico, etc.

There doesn't seem to be support for accessing the information on index
files, such as Packages and Sources, through apt_pkg. I'm looking for the
information that is contained in apt-pkg/indexrecords.h.

FWIW, I'm trying to get the size and hash information contained in the
Release file for these index files. I don't think there's any way to
get it right now, though I may be wrong.

Thanks,
Cameron
