Mahmoud Al-Qudsi cdfa76221e Completions: Adjust apt-cache output limit
The limit has been reduced to 2500 to match the limit on what we actually
consume downstream in the actual `complete -c apt ...` rule, as discussed [0].

# (It is safe to use `sed -r` here as we are guaranteed to be on a GNU platform
# if apt-cache was found.)
# Uses the UTF-8/ASCII record separator (0x1A) character.

# Note: This can include "Description:" fields which we need to include,
# "Description-en_GB" (or another locale code) fields which we need to include
# as well as "Description-md5" fields which we absolutely do *not* want to include
# The regex doesn't allow numbers, so unless someone makes a hash algorithm without a number
# in the name, we're safe. (yes, this should absolutely have a better format).
#
# aptitude has options that control the output formatting, but is orders of magnitude slower
#
# sed could probably do all of the heavy lifting here, but would be even less readable
#
# The `head -n 500` causes us to stop once we have 500 lines. We do it after the `sed` because
# Debian package descriptions can be extremely long and are hard-wrapped: texlive-latex-extra
# has about 2700 lines on Debian 11.
