 modified to access an extra database.
 
 
+The Packages file has tags like ``network::{client,server,service}`` and this breaks ``grep-dctrl``
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Those compressed tags are there because APT does not like long lines.
+
+You can use ``debtags dumpavail`` to feed data to grep-dctrl without the
+compressed tags.
+
+``debtags dumpavail`` also supports tag expressions, so you can even run
+commands like::
+
+        debtags dumpavail 'role::program && game::*' | grep-dctrl <options>
