Why?

Please note that your search below include far too many packages: most 
perl libraries are arch-all which need not - and cannot - be BinNMUed.

I knew of that search, but it locates _all_ packages using perl snippet 
- not only arch-any packages.  I can only think of needing to both grep 
rules file for snippet inclusion and control file to exclude arch-all - 
but I don't think such cross-file combo is possible with codesearch.d.n.

Where is that command?
