Thanks for your bugreport and your patch.

It is possible (also currently pretty difficult) to search the c-n-f
database for installed packages. Here is a example:

$ /usr/lib/command-not-found --ignore-installed alien
The program 'alien' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install alien
alien: command not found

Having a simpler way is probably a good idea. If you are interessted on working 
on this  I would suggest to start
with the lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/command-not-found/ubuntu branch as the 0.3 branch 
is currently not planned to 
land for lucid. I would also suggest to use a slightly less generic name like 
"packages-provides-command".

For quickest turn-around for patches, its probably best to use irc (I'm "mvo" 
on freenode) or mail me patches
directly :)

Cheers, 
Michael
