Package: apt-file
Version: 2.0.6
Severity: minor

The apt-file(1) manpage states that the "list" action "is very close to
the dpkg -S command", yet dpkg -S searches for *files*, not packages.
Shouldn't this attribution be moved to the "search" action?

Also, this part:

  list   Alias for list.

Should probably read "show" instead.
