[Bug 63111] synaptic should be able to tell you which repository a package came from

[Robert Persson]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: synaptic

Synaptic should be able to tell you which repository a package came
from.

For example I just compiled a detailed bug report concerning the package
"realplay" (it installs realplayer 10, not 8) and then discovered that
launchpad didn't want it because it wasn't an ubuntu package, despite
the fact that the maintainer has an ubuntu.com email address. I just
cannot remember where it really came from. This was quite confusing and
a real waste of time. Maybe it was one automatix brought in from Edgy. I
guess I'll have to check.

Such a feature would also help you work out if a particular 3rd party
repository were causing mayhem on your machine.
