NAME

       package-tracker - Compare and track package versions in debian repositories

DESCRIPTION

       A common, but not unique pattern for derivatives is that of reusing/rebuilding most of the
       official Debian packages and adding some custom packages of their own.  — Wikipedia
       (https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/)

       package-tracker is desinged to compare apt(1) archives from a derrivate (debian extending
       repositories) against their parent ones. A such it is possible to track changes in
       versions in other archives.
