Hi,

The situation of case sensitivity can be summarized for web browser page
opened by the "dpkg-www" as:

Search term with tailing "*": case sensitive

Search term without tailing "*": case insensitive

As I read Policy 4.3.0
  https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#source

| Package names (both source and binary, see Package) must consist only of
| lower case letters (a-z), digits (0-9), plus (+) and minus (-) signs,
| and periods (.). They must be at least two characters long and must
| start with an alphanumeric character.  Search term with tailintg "*":
| case sensitive

So search should be forced to case insensitive by lower casing the
search term for package name before doing anything to be more friendly.

But inputting mC or aPt is known bad input. This program just sanitizes
its input for a select case only.   The current behavior isn't too bad
at all while it can be improved.

Osamu
