I can confirm that the version now in testing+ is free of the bug
in the title; if I ask it to "show RCS" or "install Apache2" I get
the results I'd have hoped for.

If I ask for "Amanda" I now get a straightforward failure with no
mention of the package descriptions matching that string... but I was
never a big fan of that feature in the first place.
