I've combined the Packages files for main, contrib, non-free and non-us for a program I'm working on and there are about 10 duplicate package names. tcpquota is in contrib/admin & admin; xexec in contrib/misc and x11, for example. Is this because the different versions have different distribution definitions and both will stay around or is it just that some housekeeping needs to be done?
I guess it doesn't matter if both will stick around because I'd have to allow for package name dupes to include the experimental Packages file anyhow. I've put the current version of the program up at http://www.tfn.net/~ricknie . I realize no one has any spare time right now, but I'd really appreciate it if someone familiar with Debian could have a look at it and tell me if it's worthwhile or if it just duplicates things that are already out there. It might be more useful to turn it into a program that just allows comparisons and searches of the file lists from the various Linux distributions. That's providing I can find them.
