[Aptitude-devel] Bug#986372: aptitude: Hide implicit dependencies/provides in `show`

[Julian Andres Klode]

Package: aptitude
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: jak at debian.org

aptitude renders implicit Provides, as can be seen by versioned
kernel packages getting Provides: $kernel (= $binary:Version)
or rustc having a Provides: rustc:any (= $binary:Version), when
shown by aptitude show.

Please hide them by looking calling IsMultiArchImplicit() on the
PrvIterator or DepIterator. I think the latter also has an IsImplicit()
that handles more cases and might be better suited.
