Agreed. So I use it. But it doesn't tell me which packages belong to
the 1% that isn't the same or doesn't have the same dependencies in
Devuan.

And sometimes I do want to know what packages are in ascii or ceres
instead of the jessie that's specified in my sources.list file.

Is it difficult to convert the packages.debian.org software that Deban
uses? Or is it just a matter of too many things to do?
