Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.11-1
Severity: wishlist

Please add a field to aptitude's package description showing which repository 
the package
is comming from.

When a package is available from more than one configured repository it's very
difficult (if not impossible) to figure out which one comes from where, 
esspecially
without installing it first, and the version number is not always a good enough
indication.

For example if one has testing/unstable/experimental or external repositories
configured at the same time. It would be very helpful if a field showing the
repository is added to the package display list.
