I wanted that for so long. :) I keep using apt-get one way or another for example because of "apt-get build-dep" and I missed the fact that dependencies should be marked as auto-installed BTW I just wish we could have a way to say that all packages installed by this build-dep command are marked as automatic (so that they get removed in the next upgrade, because I have stopped playing with that source package in the mean time). > I also asked for a project on alioth for apt so that we can have a > shared bzr repository for the current debian versions.

It could be helpful to recruit new volunteers on this crucial part of our infrastructure. > term.

Until now, apt-get always found a solution to all the dist-upgrade that I gave him whereas aptitude sometimes didn't.
