+later/any/uncertain:
+- fetch dates from other repositories than maemo.org?
+- fetch dates for other than user categories?
+- add an option to start fetching changelogs automatically for all upgradeable packages?
+- how to handle package names that end in '-'? (theoretically they are valid but nonexistent?)
- ability to easily add extras-devel and extras-testing to repos if they don't exist
- load package lists in the background when the main menu is visible?
-- how to handle package names that end in '-'? (theoretically they are valid but nonexistent?)
