Package: debsecan
Version: 0.4.20.1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Binary packages are used because they're likely to be more familiar.
I'm comfortable about thinking of things in terms of source packages
and would appreciate an option to force this anyway, even if it were
to not show installed binary packages at all.

apt-listchanges seems to have a nice way of writing it out if you have
it set to show changelogs by default. I have nothing to copy from with
no updates for me to install right now, but it writes the installed
binaries in parenthesis next to the source package name like

qemu (qemu-system-x86:amd64 qemu-user-static:amd64 ...)

So if it were to list the binary ones, I hope that gives an idea of a
consistent way to do it.

Thanks for maintaining debsecan!
