Comment:

 There's currently no support for deb or rpm packages included, but it
 isn't hard to add if you want to - there's a guide here:

 http://trac.xapian.org/wiki/FAQ/OmegaNewFileFormat

 For .deb packages {{{dpkg-deb --show}}} is probably a good starting point
 for extracting the needed metadata.  I assume rpm has a similar way to
 inspect the package metadata, but I don't know it off the top of my head.
