Dear Maintainer,
please add a short form to search by source package name.
Searching by source package name is actually not that uncommon
(at least for me), for example it's needed when updating a package
to unstable/experimental while using testing for most of the system.
Usually, one wants the packages from a single source package to all
have the same version - mixing them is hardly ever tested by anyone,
so I usually try to avoid it.
Comment in that case that this is looked at in the future:
~s, ~S, ~o, ~O, ~U, ~r, ~R, ~c, ~C and ~E are taken. Only ~u and ~e are
available, of the own letters of "source".
Since recently (0.7.5, 3 months ago when writing this), column fields
for source (%E) and architecture (%e) were added (%r was not possible
for architecture because it was already taken for revdepcount).
Perhaps this still can be changed to be the other way around, source
(%e) and architecture (%E) and we can have ~e for source's search term,
and so be more consistent.
Cheers.
