[issue94] Show from which channel a package is selected

[Richard Bos at Labix Tracker]

New submission from Richard Bos <radoeka at xs4all.nl>:

Discussed on opensuse list.   
 
It is not possible to determine from which (apt) components the packages 
are being selected during installation or upgrade.  It would be good 
if this information was provided.

this does it:  
linux:~ # smart install --urls gramps  
Loading cache...  
Updating cache...

--explain does not, it would if it would include the 'alias' .  
BTW: --explain is not correct.  As I still don't know how it works, it's only   
more verbose.  So please change it into --verbose....

Installed packages (8):
