Indeed, that one is a good candidate for removal from the default display.
And a suggestion for the Ubuntu column: just show the version only if is
different from Debian's one, otherwise link some static text ("Same", "==",
whatever you see fit): differences will be seen easily, and screen width can
be saved (specially if you have packages with long version strings [0]).
