Bug Description

Binary package hint: devscripts

rmadison is a script within the 'devscripts' package for pulling useful information out of the archives.

Internally this uses different URLs:

    'debian' => "http://qa.debian.org/madison.php",
    'ubuntu' => "http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-archive/madison.cgi",

which the default being selected by:

  my $url = $params->{'url'} ? $params->{'url'} : "debian";

Ideally this might want to default to 'ubuntu' when running on an Ubuntu system.

Originally came up as a result of a Debian user on #ubuntu-motu asking if there was "anything like rmadison in Ubuntu", and when somebody tested for them, rmadision "wasn't working" because of returning Debian QA data.

devscripts (2.10.10ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable.
  ...
  * Change the default URL parameter of rmadison to be ubuntu. The old
    behaviour can be used by 'rmadison -u debian'.

devscripts (2.10.10ubuntu2) hardy; urgency=low

  * Update "rmadison --help" output to show that Ubuntu is the default,
    and also provide a hint about shorthands.

Actually, the man page needs to be fixed too, since it still claims the default is Debian.
