outdate reporting script that does universe/multiverse too

[Max Bowsher]

Hi,

I've written a script that, based on Packages and Sources files,
produces equivalent output to
http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/testing/jaunty_outdate.txt, but
does it for universe/multiverse too.

It is at:
https://code.launchpad.net/~maxb/+junk/ubuntu-archive-reporting

In the interests of best demonstrating its correctness, I have made its
format a near-complete match to the current outdate report, though,
especially in the case of source packages generating very many binaries,
this isn't particularly readable. I'm open to rewriting bits of it.

I was thinking of adding Packages-arch-specific parsing to it, to
highlight one particular cause of persistent outdates. Would that most
usefully be done as part of the same report, or an entirely separate output?

Max.
