With
tr
used here, it seems to me like the output from this would always be a single line, meaning all matching packages would be passed to apt-cache in one run.So it seems like the only use for xargs is shorthand to avoid running apt-cache if no packages from the repo are installed?

apt-cache policy needs the input as individual arguments. it also does not read from stdin. these are the reasons why xargs is used.

I explained poorly.
If apt-cache is only being run once, then something like this should work if I understand this correctly

No I correctly interpreted what you said.
What you just sent puts all output as one input argument I think. Can't check now.

No quotes around the inner
$()
will make each package into a separate argument.If nothing else, this is simply something useful to know. I'm not necessarily requesting any changes here.
