I tried thatto no avail. I found all the functions but it's "unbackportable" (for me anyway) because:
- The trunk is now using a new file format to manage repositories etc
- The functions involved with that require a new glib on the tablet
Let me clean it a bit and I will upload it here.
It works but I haven't tested it very well though.

That version show the repo where the package is from, in the details dialog.

Qwerty, it's a patch against your mod version, not against the unpatched version.
The code is from that branch version, I had it locally, it could be from long time ago, I don't remember when I downloaded that branch.
It adds a line in the details dialog, for example:
Repository: repository.maemo.org diablo free
Repository: catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com diablo user
It doesn't difference among extras and extras-devel.
Is attached as txt file.

This patch is otherwise great but afaik it doesn't make difference for example between extras and extras-devel.

If you're unaware of the current push to standardize the Application Manager Categories, please look here:

You do realize this is the result of about 2 short days of hacking from just a couple people? Radical UI changes don't happen over night (though I'm sure everybody would be happy for you to lend a hand).

If you want to help, join in package categories discussion.
Then there are a lot of doubles like email and mail, comm and Communication. Isn't email/mail communication? Boingo, whatever that may be, is a seperate category. Why not LogMeIn as well a seperate category? And while you're at it, Canola as well? *rolleyes* And, then the one called Applications. Aren't these all applications? A user would ask: what the hell is an interpreter? Doc should be Documenation.

Why not have a more tree-based viewing. For example, several modes in which one can select how it is sorted.

Or refuse to install with weird categories unless overridden.

An updated patch, now it differentiate between extras and extras-devel; updates, certified and non-certified in nokia tableteer repos.
I don't know what it can show in other repositories, but you only should use extras and nokia repos, so there shouldn't be problem
For example in the sdk or tools repositories, the new string added is "dists". So there is enough to improve yet in this patch.

do this shows on installed stuff to, so that one can look up where something came from?
- The trunk is now using a new file format to manage repositories etc
- The functions involved with that require a new glib on the tablet
