	DESCRIPTION ($VERSION)
	    The Debian Advanced Package Tool (apt) is a very powerful and flexible
	    packaging tool.  But its functions are scattered among a number of
	    tools and it's hard to keep track of what's where, especially coming
	    from yum, which is very simple.  Just as rpm is the basis for yum,
	    dpkg is the basis for apt, but like yum apt has a package cache and 
	    various ways to manipulate it.  This is just a wrapper to unify the
	    tools.

	      Wajig is similar to this script and is far more comprehensive, but
	      also much larger and more complicated.
	    * aptitude is more powerful than apt-get, and includes some features of
	      apt-cache as well (but it likes to install "recommended" packages by
	      default (http://people.debian.org/~dburrows/aptitude-doc/en/ch02s04s05.html#configRecommends-Important)).
	    * aptitude is more powerful searching than apt-cache but it's also
	      tricker to use.  See http://algebraicthunk.net/~dburrows/projects/aptitude/doc/en/ch02s03s05.html#tableSearchTermQuickGuide
	    * Use of aptitude instead of apt-get is recommended:
	      http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-package.en.html

	    * man pages for apt-get, aptitude, apt-cache, apt-query, dpkg,
