commit 1d9163d44aa82ff95f201876357330bad7a58852

    source/beyond-pkging.rst: improve explanation about how to use the mia-query tool
    
    The existing wording made me try to find the tool mia-query in a package
    from the Debian archive (no results) or installed in $PATH on
    qa.debian.org (not in $PATH). The existing wording points out that the
    database is in /org/qa.debian.org/mia but not that the tool is in there
    too.
    
    This change makes it clear that the tool is in the
    /org/qa.debian.org/mia directory and adds an example for how to run the
    tool.
