I have a (little) one : mandrake package names are long, so I have to use grab 
with -E to see all version chain.
I know I can use a bash alias, but it could be possible to test chain lenght in 
grab and to switch to expand mode just if necessary ?

I had a second idea , because I used autorpm for a long time
with autorpm, you can "remove" a package from the interface, I mean say "do not 
show it anymore" (your skip list is static)

last idea for today : what about a log file of grab's install
