Just trying to save work. Does it need to be updated or can it be removed. It didn't appear to offer anything sce-import did. In fact, sce-import can search DEBs by first letters or letters containing. If you keep searchdeb, maybe sce-searchdeb would also be appropriate. Running searchdeb asks 'Enter starting characters of package sought'. It actually searches DEBs for letters containing (like sce-import -c). For example, one of search 'ax' returns is 'maxima'. In the end, to me it still seems like unnecessary duplication of sce-import searching, where the user can not only search but also install if desired.
