Is /usr/bin/searchdeb deprecated?
Seems sce-import searching provides more functionality or are they linked somehow?
Partial output, i'm not running Wheezy.
Using the repo http://security.debian.org jessie main
The below package matches are available in the main Debian Wheezy repo.

Another utility that has not been visited since the early days of dCore. It can be updated to the current package scheme. I will look into it.

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.

The searching of available packages is done by other utilities now as needed, but a standalone utility to determine available packages, prebuilt as well as .deb, can somehow be useful if only as a function called by other utilities. I will think about it. Perhaps renamed as sce-searchpkg or similar. Thanks.
