What about something in-between? 
Again and again, I find myself trying to use an intuitive, but alas non-existing feature in the list view:
Let me press a key on the keyboard (e.g. "n") and jump to the first package whos name begins with that letter ("nako")
(In fact, this might even or rather concern the list control of hildon/gtk itself, or not?)

Best regards
