Bug Description
Binary package hint: python-apt
Attached is a small Python program to display the problem: apt.Cache does not support '"foo" in cache' even though it tries to be a dict. The output of the program should be four times True, now the second line is False. I think that is a bug.
Fixing this should be possible by just adding a __contains__(self, item) method to apt.Cache, possibly as an alias for has_key.
(I'm currently using version 0.7.6ubuntu3~ppa1 of python-apt.)
Also, isn't it time to make python-apt _not_ complain about the API being unstable? Pretty please?
