that's great improvement! (comparing to 0.52 of course)

I'm just thinking what if column editor implementation will be done like 
that one on the screenshot attached (thunderbird), it seems to be common 
for gtk applications, isn't it? And column rearrangement can be done by 
drag'n'drop there.

what about to put the Force Version button directly on the "versions 
tab" like Michael Vogt said before?

And about that "hackish" search implementataion.
I'm using couple application which also have search-im-the-list 
implemented. It works like:
you type "a"  - all the list is shrinked displaing the lines which start 
with "a"
type "b" - the list is shrinked furthes to lines which start with "ab" 
and so on.
I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. So I just thought it would be 
nice to have such search in synaptic.

I'm sorry, If that was mentioned before and I missed it.

regards.
