Package: apt-xapian-index
Version: 0.44
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Recently a question came up on debian-user regarding the 'ip' package. 
Of course we guesses the OP was asking for the package providing the 
'ip' command (iproute), but it is not easy to find this out with 
existing tools:

$ apt-file search bin/ip | wc -l
140

$ apt-cache search ip | wc -l
10060

Then I remembered apt-xapian-index so I cheated, looked up all debtags and 
tried this

$ axi-cache --all search ip admin::configuring role::program scope::utility 
interface::commandline | wc -l
259

but what's even worse

$axi-cache --all search ip admin::configuring role::program scope::utility 
interface::commandline | grep iproute
$

Maybe indexing the packages' contents would help?

Kind regards,
Andrei
