Wow. What kind of programming language can have inspired the developers
to define such a syntax ?

"apt list" has some limitations in comparison to "aptitude search". I
have no idea what was the source of inspiration for aptitude, but this
query language appeared perhaps a quarter of century ago.

For me it is hard to compose a query beyond trivial ones. My adventures
with "apt list":

However I did not post last variant of the query. It is for aptitude.
As to obsolete vs. local packages, my guess is that apt may label some
version as obsolete if another version of the same package is still
available from some repository. Otherwise it is local.
