aptitude: no way to rexeg for main/restricted/universe/multiverse?

[Jason Ribeiro]

I tried looking for this once and couldn't find it.  I ended up using
~s to match on section.  The things in "restricted" will have a
section like "restricted/x11" for example.  Same for multiverse and
universe.  For main, I just matched for sections without "universe"
"multiverse" or "restrcicted".
