       suite/arch were required in the old version, still are?
       which modes do we want? The old ones were "files", "dirs+files", "full"
+
+J: suite is still required, arch is not (it's not even supported atm, but
+trivially would be). An easy crosslink a la [stable][testing][unstable] would
+be adviseable
+
+mode is implemented via exact and fullfilename parameters currently (both
+cannot be set at the same time), mode would be better indeed. Possibilities
+are currently "ends-with", "exact filename" and "filename substring". I don't
+think more would be useful, with 'bin/foo' for example you can then find
+/usr/bin/foo and /bin/foo and /sbin/foo, but simply not /bin/foobar
