Package: dgit
Version: 1.0
Severity: wishlist

I recently tried to run:

 dgit clone tftpd-hpa

I was greeted with:

 canonical suite name for unstable is sid
 starting new git history
 no version available from the archive
 dgit: package tftpd-hpa does not exist in suite unstable

It turns out that tftpd-hpa is only a binary package name. The source
package is named tftp-hpa.

It would be lovely if dgit could detect this situation and automatically
suggest cloning the source package corresponding to the binary package
currently installed (or if the binary package is not installed, perhaps
some other sensible version) instead.

Mike.
