tags 624542 + pending stop Thank you for your interest in improving Debian, and sorry to keep the bug unattended for so long. There's now an effort to review the open bugs related with aptitude and resume development.
This request has been implemented in this commit: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=aptitude/aptitude.git;a=commitdiff;h=a303dcaceacdc6299b9f23cc2375b9e403d20da0 It has not been implemented as in your patch because of the related bug report and commit: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=599209 http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=aptitude/aptitude.git;a=commitdiff;h=ec57423d709dbca4ab49d18d59de19010a4d5713 This previous report made necessary to change the size of 'sizechange'/%Z field taking 9 spaces (rather than previous 7 or your suggestion of 8 spaces), so the version fields are reduced to 14 instead of your suggestion of 15. Still, a "sizable" improvement, if you excuse the pun ;-) Unless a problem is found with the modifications, they will be present in the next release of aptitude. Thus marking the bug as "pending".
