I have written a graphical Debian package browser called dpkgview.
It is *not* a package installer - it is a browser for installed
packages.
It is in the early stages of development, but people are more than
welcome to test it, on the understanding that this is still beta
software.
I haven't had time since early May to do any serious work on it; having
recently become a father, but I'm hoping to have a hamm-compatible
package out sometime this month.
The URL is:

Bug reports and comments would be appreciated.
Cheers
Graeme
