I'd rather not inspect archive like that. There is <a href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=debconf-utils">http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=debconf-utils</a> that can show the package is arch all and which component it is in - main, universe, multiverse, or restricted. All four components are enabled by default. There is also rmadison, which you can remotely query all packages from command line: $ rmadison debconf-utils -- Regards, Dimitri.
