Dear Maintainer,

Please add a search pattern ?component(…) that can be used as
?component(main), ?component(non-free), ?component(contrib).

Thanks,

Daniel

That would be really nice....


And while you're on it, could you also extend --display-format to allow
printing out the component?


Thanks,
Chris.
