The use case I have in mind here is:
I have two machines: a laptop, and a server. I don't run apt very often
on the server, but I still care about the packages installed there. So,
I'd like to monitor those packages using how-can-i-help on my laptop.
It would be more convenient if the list of packages was provided as a
file (.config/how-can-i-help/packages by default, maybe?).
Or to have two options: one for the file, the other one for providing
the list of packages on the command line.

if $additionals
packages += $additionals.map { |e| e.lstrip }
end
would sound more ruby-ish ;)
