Option parsing for package name does not handle os/arch changes well #34

Description

@jheiss

The context here is that the box in question was running a beta version of Debian. A version of collectd was built and installed. The box was then upgraded via apt-get to the released version of Debian, which changed the tpkg OS value from "Debian-testing" to "Debian-7". While that understandably leaves tpkg in a bit of a mess, there's no reason that referring to the installed collectd package by the bare package name shouldn't continue to work.

jheiss@office:~> tpkg --qa
collectd-5.1.1-1-debiantesting-armv6l.tpkg

jheiss@office:~> tpkg -r collectd
