Hi,
So, I know my example is not a patch. It should works while apt-file

I'm not sure we should be adding this. What use cases are there for this?
If you want to reinstate a lost file, couldn't you better do 'apt-get
install --reinstall package'?

Many times I'd like to get a file from a package just for
examinate/study it, like a script in /etc/init.d, a man page, a readme
from doc, a logrotate file, a config file in /etc/ ... but I don't want
to install the package.

Is there anywhere a debian archive uncompress, where you could go to download
any debian file on the debian's hierarchy ?
Sorry
