Package: gettext
Version: 0.17-6
Severity: minor
"apt-cache search msgfmt" does not find gettext package.
To find it I had to use web site search engine...
May be it would be wise to add msgfmt to the descriprion of the package, to
make searchin more simpe?

If we followed that rule to the letter, we would have to include the
complete list of binaries in the extended description of every package
"to make searching more simple".
I have to disagree. That's exactly what the Contents-* files were created for.
gettext is a development package. You only need it if you are developing
something which needs gettext. If you develop anything on Debian you
should know about the Contents-* files. Really.
Thanks.
