Package: unzip
Version: 6.0-4ubuntu1
Severity: wishlist
Please make zipgrep use grep, not egrep: in Debian it is not necessary
to insist on egrep, which is just an alias for grep, and moreover
prevents many grep switches from being used. I have tried simply
making a copy of zipgrep and s/egrep/grep/, and it works beautifully.
I guess this is not applicable upstream, but it's very useful in Debian.

egrep is not an alias for grep, it is equivalent to "grep -E", which
is not exactly the same.

If it's not applicable upstream, modifying the Debian version will
break compatibility with other distributions. Sorry, I don't think
that's a good idea.
