Yeah, that would make sense, and I actually coded this some days ago, although I've not removed the arch-qualified package names for M-A:same packages, even if that makes that info a bit redundant now, because this is consistent with the rest of dpkg output, and allows to copy & paste those packages names as input for dpkg commands w/o inccurring into ambiguity. thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
