mozilla ubiquity commands for debian

I'm an avid user of mozilla ubiquity but I couldn't find any commands related to debian to replace those of yubnub. So, prodded by zack I've produced some like bts or pts.
The command feed is located at ubiquity-commands (don't be scared by the "this-code-can-be-evil" subscription page) with the actual code maintained under ubiquity-commands.git.
Note that there's *much* room for improvement so it would be nice to have a common set of commands for the various debian web resources.

Maybe it would be great to have the pts command be able to complete input (or fix incorrect package names by proposing valid package names) using the DDE service proposed by Enrico (http://www.enricozini.org/2009/debian/dde.html) ?

It seems it's a perfect showcase for what DDE is mean for.

I've use Ubiquity as a front end to YubNub for awhile and most of the commands worked just fine.

You might have to update your subscriptions:

Try "ls debian" to find all the commands related to the Debian (GNU) Linux.  The YubNub command "pts" works for me as is, but package name completion would be a cool feature.
