Indeed - my first response after the post was to do exactly the same.  Who
whould have imagined that the main package is "subversion" but practically
all of the related packages use svn.

I've always used "aptitude search <keyword>", and it seems I'm either better
off to use "apt-cache search" or RTFM and figure out how to tell aptitude
to search in both name and description (I can't believe it wouldn't do
that...)

We live and learn :-)
