Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdebi

Karmic gdebi's preview screen is pretty nice, but showing everything as plaintext is rather boring. :P

It should be rather trivial to pipe the preview text through python-pygments and highlight the code, using pygment's mimetype detection.

pygments doesn't provide a formatter for PyGTK/PyGI at the moment.
Anyway, I don't think this feature should belong to a package installer, but patches are always welcome ;)
