Binary package hint: synaptic

In Synaptic, when I search for something like 'ubuntu-res', it fails to find 'ubuntu-restricted-extras'. This appears to be universal with any package that includes a dash as searching for 'ubuntu' reviles the package 'ubuntu-restricted-extras'.

This is seen by 'abiword' and 'abiword-', etc.
