   The grep on the entire *.list set of files of /var/lib/dpkg/info would let 
me search everything, but the -L switch is directly analogous using less on a 
single *.list file.

   The main reason I stick to using the subdir technique is that it allows me 
not to remember another little-used switch, but which is now ingrained into 
my neurons by your message. :-)
