I have, 2 feature requests.

I'm using synaptic at an rpm system.  rpm holds an entry for url information.  
This url is not displayed in the package information (that shows maintainer 
e.g.) Is it possible to add the url information?

2nd request: is it possible to make an additional tab that shows which files 
are being part of the package?

Thanks.
