Package: grep-dctrl Version: 2.9.0 Severity: wishlist Hi,
it would be nice if grep-dctrl could parse fields like Build-Depends
and other package relation fields. Currently, one has to say
grep-dctrl -F Build-Depends foo
which also catches package names containing 'foo' as a substring, or
write a complex regexp like (untested)
grep-dctrl -F Build-Depends '[ ,]foo([, \(]|$)'
which is both hard to read and to get right.
For a possible syntax, a new option --pkg-field would be an option.
(And then implicitly treat a 'foo' argument as '^foo$' unless it
contains meta characters?)
(see also #339380)
