        I see. The ara's idea is that you can search against _any_ field known 
to the 
debian packaging system and you _always_ get binary package names as result. 
For instance if you want to search against the Source: field, you type:

& source:/shadow/
libapache-mod-auth-shadow libshadow-ruby1.6 libshadow-ruby1.8 login passwd

or if you want to see all known fields, type that instead:

& #all source:/shadow/
....

You can of course query any boolean combinations of fields thereof ;-)

I agree that there is still room to extend documentation and examples given, 
thus if you have any text in mind I'd be glad to add it to the man page and 
help code as well. What do you think ?
