Thank you gregor for your work on this!

FWIW the changes look good to me and now that the tests pass I see no 
reasons why this can't be merged in the master branch and released.

What I am not clear about is whether this interface to apt-file is 
something new that is not available in stable. If so, we'd need either 
a suitable dependency or some kind of legacy support?

If this is a new interface I'd probably opt to adding the dependency 
and let stable users provide a patch :)
