Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.15.9-6
Severity: wishlist

Currently all fields in the package list are left-aligned, no matter if
they are text or numerical. This looks bad for numerical fields. For
example, I have

aptitude::UI::Package-Display-Format "%c%a%M %27p%t%5i#%4r%8D%8I%8Z%v#%V#";

and example part of the display looks like this:

i A libbz2-1.0   unstable   6   41.8kB  131kB    1.0.2-8     1.0.2-8
i A libc6        unstable   436 4927kB  16.7MB   2.3.5-3     2.3.5-3
i   libc6-dev    unstable   3   2678kB  10.9MB   2.3.5-3     2.3.5-3
i A libcap1      unstable   3   9082B   61.4kB   1:1.10-14   1:1.10-14

I would want it to look like this:

i A libbz2-1.0   unstable     6 41.8kB   131kB   1.0.2-8     1.0.2-8
i A libc6        unstable   436 4927kB  16.7MB   2.3.5-3     2.3.5-3
i   libc6-dev    unstable     3 2678kB  10.9MB   2.3.5-3     2.3.5-3
i A libcap1      unstable     3 9082B   61.4kB   1:1.10-14   1:1.10-14

so that numerical fields are right-aligned with the rightmost numer in
the field.
