BUGS

Be warned that the author has only a shallow understanding of the dpkg packaging system, so there are probably tons of bugs in this program.

This program comes with no warranties. If running this program causes fire and brimstone to rain down upon the earth, you will be on our own.

This program accesses the dpkg database directly in places, querying for data that cannot be gotten via dpkg.
