  1. Well, you could use -G or -E...

    Yes, the -E option should quite likely do anything that really matters...
    The point is that kubuntu is my new love, so any tiny flaw seems to be impossible... :)

  3. another option is to recompile the grep your own with the options you want:

    apt-get source grep

    the modify the rules file according to what you need.

    dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

    and then you should have a nice deb package.
