Serverity: wishlist
I often find myself checking the content of a package. For this I would like to be able to inspect the list of files in a package, or even query for a specific file.

This is much like Debian does in "list of files" for each package (e.g. <https://packages.debian.org/en/buster/amd64/ejabberd-mod-cron/filelist>) and with "Search the contents of packages" <https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_contents>

Many thanks :-)
