Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.8.2-1
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
When you want to install a package that is in a more recent version of Debian
but not in the one you run and if you are patient enough not to backport, why
not adding a new command?
aptitude might have an other command, say will-install or future-install.
Three examples:
"aptitude will-install pygal" creates a fake entry for pygal and will check
every update if the package is available or not. If yes, it will propose its
installation (or install it without asking if the right checkbox is checked).
"aptitude will-install" prints the wishlist.
"aptitude wont-install pygal" removes the pygal entry.
