I think we might want to have some strict mode at some point which does
no automatic fallback search. Patterns also have regular expressions
according to the aptitude manual, but that does not quite match the
reality (aptitude install foo always installs exactly foo).
I can image we add a --exact-name option to install that only allows
exact matches and does not search for similar names. That's like
aptitude's ?exact-name pattern. Or we could do it the other way around
and disable it by default for non-interactive use, and introduce a
--force-no-exact-match-search-for-it option (and a prompt, well, just
combine it into the existing prompt).
