Bug#619574: python-apt: Provide access for task associated with a package

[Patrick Schoenfeld <schoenfeld@debian.org>]

Package: python-apt
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

currently the python-apt bindings for the apt package cache do not
provide access to the task associated with a package. I have a use-case
where I need it.

The information can be gathered from the Packages file,
where for each Package, which is a member of a task, a key-value pair
"Task: foo" is stored.

It would be nice if python-apt provided a method task
in apt.packagePackage() objects. Apart from this it would be nice to
have functions in the cache object to access list of tasks and
associated packages..

best Regards,
Patrick
