Comparison operators for --compare-versions are:
lt le eq ne ge gt (treat empty version as earlier than any version);
lt-nl le-nl ge-nl gt-nl (treat empty version as later than any version);
< << <= = >= >> > (only for compatibility with control file syntax).

Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management.

Format syntax:
A format is a string that will be output for each package. The format
can include the standard escape sequences \n (newline), \r (carriage
return) or \\ (plain backslash). Package information can be included
by inserting variable references to package fields using the ${var[;width]}
syntax. Fields will be right-aligned unless the width is negative in which
case left alignment will be used.

Use `dpkg' to install and remove packages from your system, or
`dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management. Packages
unpacked using `dpkg-deb --extract' will be incorrectly installed !
