Packages are available for source, amd64, i386 at:
    deb http://people.debian.org/~jak/debian/ experimental/
    deb-src http://people.debian.org/~jak/debian/ experimental/

These packages are snapshots of the 0.7.92 development, and provide the
class apt_pkg.Policy. But as I already said, it is not really useful,
because DepCache itself provides access to read_pinfile() for it's
policy. This means you can use DepCache for normal cases, but for more
specific stuff, you can use Policy.
