I agree with Eugene: the spec as presented is flawed. All package
management tools (you forgot to list dpkg) treat Depends-satisfaction
as an invariant, and there isn't really a compelling reason for this
to change. The wording you present is a little confusing, but once
you work through it, it

As a practical matter, downgrading these dependencies will cause
aptitude and other package managers to believe that the documentation
is unnecessary and suggest removing it.

I don't have the energy to push this any more, but I should probably

Hi there. As I'm sure everyone knows, I'm not exactly unbiased here
since I've done a lot of work on the apt system (although nix looks more
like a replacement for dpkg).
This is the same package manager that was posted on lambda-the-ultimate

Hi all,
As you probably noticed, Michael Vogt uploaded apt 0.7.2 to unstable
with support for detecting automatically installed packages. I've
ported aptitude to use the new apt interfaces instead of its internal
implementation, and uploaded the result to experimental.
