Aptdaemon allows normal users to perform package management tasks, e.g.

.
Currently it comes with the following main features:
.

write clients in several languages
- Runs only if required (D-Bus activation)
- Fine grained privilege management using PolicyKit, e.g. allowing all
desktop user to query for updates without entering a password

- Support for debconf (Debian's package configuration system)
- Support for attaching a terminal to the underlying dpkg call
The package itself is based on the Ubuntu one, with some changes:
- Converted the package to 3.0 (quilt) source format

- Rebased against current trunk of aptdaemon
Sebastian, could we get a 0.11 release tomorrow; with the state
of the current trunk and the attached patch for Python 2.5
support? This would be helpful; as I would like to upload
the package tomorrow.
