Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.10-1+b2
Severity: normal

The description of -q flag in the aptitude man page refers to apt.conf
which in turn refers to sample apt.conf where the flag is not described.

It is only said that you can specify it but not what different levels
are supposed to do.

When specifying a high -q level such as 
aptitude -q=15 update
it still says "Reading package lists ..." but no longer says "Done.".
Both inability to turn off the first part of the message and the fact
that different parts of the same message are turned off at different -q
levels looks wrong to me.
