I think this is very much useful as a starter.
Considering that current apt output is not sufficient (apt-config does
not seem to dump sources.list information, and apt-cache policy does
not output enough information), it would be a good idea to have APIs
for doing it.
I am not sure if it should be done at python-apt layer or libapt-pkg,
or adding an interface to apt-cache.
