Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: devscripts

It seems the minimal column widths in rmadison’s output are fixed. The
version column has a width of 10 characters (plus padding), the
repository column 13 (plus padding). For Ubuntu these two columns should
be wider (while the package name column width can be safely made
smaller, even zero, as the package name will always expand it in an
uniform way).

Basically, the defaults which work for Debian do not work for Ubuntu,
while the package name column is unnecessarily wide:
