I would like to search through the portage tree, but instead of looking at
package names I would like to search for a word in the description. This
came about when I decided to see if portage had any ticket/request systems
already in there. I figured I would search the descriptions for the word
"ticket" and see what came up. This a planned feature? Something else
already do this? Or maybe this should be an addition to gentoolkit,
possibly part of qpkg?
