It was new to me, even if it was 3 years old...

I was reading Debian-devel and someone mentioned 'apt-cache madison ...' which I didn't know about. So I thought I was mention it so that folks can be aware of its existance.
apt-cache madison ...

    apt-cache’s madison command attempts to mimic the output format and a subset of the functionality of the Debian archive management tool, madison. It displays available versions of a package in a tabular format. Unlike the original madison, it can only display information for the architecture for which APT has retrieved package lists (APT::Architecture).

Cheers,
Kev
