sure, after i have a chance to look it over and test drive it, i'll send
it to upstream cvs HEAD. i've been really wanting something like this
for a bit too :)

aha. i thought it was matching against the URI. my bad. however,
i think a slightly improved regex would be:
if ($line =~ m/^Inst\s+\S+\s+\[[^]]+\]\s+\(\S+ [^:]+:security\)/i) {
which will avoid any wierd cases where security shows up in
the version or origin.

yeah, meant update. awesome.

well it shouldn't be too hard to do, i'll volunteer at least this
much effort. i'll follow up after i've tested/committed this upstream.
