Hi Ludovic,
Thank you for this valuable initiative :-). I like that it sits in few
lines and should already be useful for local searches with a minimal
front command to query it.

I also had the idea of making it a package... this way only the people
who opt to install the database locally would incur the cost (in
bandwidth).
Perhaps a question for Vagrant: talking about size, is this SQLite
database file comparable or smaller in size to the apt-file database
that needs to be downloaded? With the Debian software catalog being
about 30% bigger, I'd expect a similarly bigger file size.
If Debian is doing better in terms of database file size, we could look
at how they're doing it.
Thank you!
Maxim
