Description Matthew Flaschen 2006-12-23 22:52:04 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

It would be helpful to see (perhaps optionally) the repository where a listed package comes from.  This could be useful for several reasons.  For example, it lets you get a quick idea about the package's copyright status and reliablity.  Is this information available from the back-end apt code?

A good idea indeed. It should be available in a form, or other, I believe.

Adept has been in the unmaintained state for a few years.  Use muon[1] as replacement .
