5 I extracted a list of cps from repoman, modified your script to check all cpvs
6 (rather than only the best) and compared that with repoman's cps. The
7 attached result.diff file prefixes repoman-only detection with a "-" and the
8 separate tool-only detection with a "+".

10 Your fixes to seem to producee many false positives and introduce some false
11 negatives as well. There may be true positives that I'm missing but I
12 couldn't find one picking a few cases at random.

14 Either way, it doesn't matter if there a few false negatives as it's only
15 meant to be an aid. False positives on the other hand are unacceptable.
