In fact "ls" determines if its output goes to a terminal or not and formats its output in columns or not. This can easily be demonstrated by issuing "ls > /some/file ; cat /some/file", which will show the same output as "ls -1" (to the screen), whereas "ls" (to the screen) will look different.
(source: the AIX manpage of ls tells about this rather counter-intuitive behavior of ls)

seeded-in-ubuntu
seeded-in-ubuntu(1) General Commands Manual seeded-in-ubuntu(1)
NAME
seeded-in-ubuntu - Determine whether a package is safe to upload during a freeze
SYNOPSIS
seeded-in-ubuntu [options] package...
DESCRIPTION
Lists all the current daily images containing the specified packages. Or whether the package is part of the supported seed.
If it isn't on an image, it should be safe to upload. During the final freeze, one should avoid packages in the supported seed too.
An index of the current manifests is downloaded from UbuntuWire.
OPTIONS
-b, --binary
The packages specified are binary packages. This is faster than source packages, as otherwise we must query LP to determine the
binary packages that every specified source package builds.
-u URL, --data-url=URL
URL for index of seeded packages. Default: UbuntuWire's service at http://qa.ubuntuwire.org/ubuntu-seeded-packages/seeded.json.gz.
-h, --help
Display a help message and exit
EXAMPLES
All the images that contain unity:
seeded-in-ubuntu -b unity
