This could be combined with the "update" option in deselect, or a new "scan packages" option could be added. I tried using "dpkg --scanpackages". When that didn't work I tried every variation I could think of (Scanpackages, ScanPackages, scan-packages...) It looks like I'll have to wait for the update.
