Right; that's why I suggested AJAX. I was thinking of this in
combination with a selector that allowed you to indicate clearly you
didn't know (or didn't want to specify) a package name.

That's an alternative I hadn't considered. We could do that, and the
user would have to either choose the right one or give up. I wonder why

bug-filing feature. Do you know?
