Bug Description

Binary package hint: synaptic

When submitting a bug report, you are expected to also include some package versions.
Unfortunately there is no quick and easy way to do that from synaptic.
Suppose that I now want to look up the version for package "synaptic":
I search for synaptic and then selecting Properties, leaving me with a window showing the version but no way to copy it.
Instead I must write it down by hand in this form then I'm writing the bug report.

I suggest that the whole content of the Properties window are made markable and copyable. just as the "Maintainer" section is.
