retitle 592877 ITP: apt2 -- Advanced Package Tool 2
thanks
Let's keep the APT2 name instead of the UPS name. The UPS name is a good
joke, but it's not good for a real program name, because:
* UPS = Uninterruptible Power Supply
* UPS = United Parcel Service
* Ups = a debugger
* It's a too common name
I think that all in all, apt2 is a known name already, it can be found
easily, it can not be confused with other things.
