Bug#1070122: apt-cache rdepends with an exact match name

Package: apt
Version: 2.9.2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Could there be a possibility (by default or with an option) to not get result
like:

$ apt rdepends libaio1
libaio1

  Recommends: libodpic4
  Depends: libdbd-oracle-perl

where most of the cases are libaio1t64 depends.

More generally, it should be more clear in the apt(-cache) manpage at least for
'pkg' versus 'regex' arguments if this is supposed to be identity or substring
matching versus a full regex matching.

Thanks,
Patrice
