Thank you gregor for your work on this! FWIW the changes look good to me and now that the tests pass I see no reasons why this can't be merged in the master branch and released. What I am not clear about is whether this interface to apt-file is something new that is not available in stable. If so, we'd need either a suitable dependency or some kind of legacy support? If this is a new interface I'd probably opt to adding the dependency and let stable users provide a patch :) -- dam
