I still want to be able to see the full "Depends:" and so on. And not with a pager. Piping to: perl -ne '/^[^ ]/ and $f = /^Description-/, $c = 0; print if ($c += $f) < 25' seems to work, but there's still the issue of doing the pipe automatically without unwanted side effects. What's annoying is that it would prevent possible future coloring.
