Thanks for the patch, but it seems to me it isn't addressing the main
problem: How do you tell which version of a package is from which
distribution? With your patch it downloads every version.
$ apt-cache policy acl
acl:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 2.2.23-1
Version Table:
2.2.29-1.0.1 0
700 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
2.2.23-1 0
900 http://http.us.debian.org testing/main Packages
$ ./debget -d testing -n acl
dpkg --print-avail acl
connect to ftp.debian.org
chdir debian
ls pool/main/a/acl
get pool/main/a/acl/acl_2.0.8-1.dsc
get pool/main/a/acl/acl_2.0.8-1.tar.gz
get pool/main/a/acl/acl_2.2.23-1.dsc
get pool/main/a/acl/acl_2.2.23-1.tar.gz
get pool/main/a/acl/acl_2.2.26-1.dsc
get pool/main/a/acl/acl_2.2.26-1.tar.gz
get pool/main/a/acl/acl_2.2.29-1.dsc
get pool/main/a/acl/acl_2.2.29-1.tar.gz
disconnect from ftp.debian.org
$ _
Knowing what version goes with what distribution is particularly important
for packages in experimental.
