Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.8.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Aptitude provides options to remove the menu-bar and the `key-binding
help-line', but there seems to be no way to remove the most useless line
of all -- the header line (which by default simply displays the program
name and version)!
It would be nice to have such an option.

Technically, you can, by redefining the screen layout. It would be
nice to have a simpler way of doing that, though.
btw, that line also displays how many packages are broken and how
much disk space you're currently going to use. You can also change it
in the UI options section, although I'm not sure what you'd want to
change them to.
There is no other prominent place in the current interface to show
download size, change of installation sizes and specially broken
packages in the planned actions, so IMO it would be a very bad idea to
disable this.
I think that this line can be hardly called the "most useless", when
it's the the most useful one to summarise the effects of the planned
actions, which in turn is one of the main purposes of firing the curses
mode of aptitude.
After 14 years and with no other seconds or intention of implementing
this (due to the reasons stated above), I think that it's better to just
mark the bug as +wontfix and close it.
