Currently "replaces" info is not shown on a -Qi or -Qip operation, but
is shown with an -Si. A few questions here:
1. For a -Qip, this information can be retrieved- it is stored in the
package and a simple one line addition to the code allows it to be
shown. This seems smart.
2. For a -Qi, this information will always be "None" as it is not
recorded in the local database. Is there a reason for this?
3. Finally, was there a legitimate reason for this never being done
before, or why has it been left out? If someone can't figure out why
it should be omitted, I'd like to patch it so that it does show up.
