Thanks for the patch, but it seems to me it isn't addressing the main
problem:  How do you tell which version of a package is from which
distribution?  With your patch it downloads every version.

    $ apt-cache policy acl
    acl:
      Installed: (none)
      Candidate: 2.2.23-1
      Version Table:
         2.2.29-1.0.1 0
            700 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
         2.2.23-1 0
            900 http://http.us.debian.org testing/main Packages
    $ ./debget -d testing -n acl
    dpkg --print-avail acl
    connect to ftp.debian.org
    chdir debian
    ls  pool/main/a/acl
    get pool/main/a/acl/acl_2.0.8-1.dsc
    get pool/main/a/acl/acl_2.0.8-1.tar.gz
    get pool/main/a/acl/acl_2.2.23-1.dsc
    get pool/main/a/acl/acl_2.2.23-1.tar.gz
    get pool/main/a/acl/acl_2.2.26-1.dsc
    get pool/main/a/acl/acl_2.2.26-1.tar.gz
    get pool/main/a/acl/acl_2.2.29-1.dsc
    get pool/main/a/acl/acl_2.2.29-1.tar.gz
    disconnect from ftp.debian.org
    $ _

Knowing what version goes with what distribution is particularly important
for packages in experimental.
