And let's look at the -W and -D readability,

# aptitude -W -D safe-upgrade
Resolving dependencies...

------------- Ahh, nice and tidy:
  evince (R: gnumeric, S: debian-faq, S: doc-debian, S: pdfcrack)
  evince-gtk (R: gnumeric, S: debian-faq, S: doc-debian, S: pdfcrack)
  gnome-desktop-data (R: gnumeric-doc)  lp-solve (R: gnumeric)
  notification-daemon (R: libnotify1, R: network-manager-gnome)
  notification-daemon-xfce (R: libnotify1, R: network-manager-gnome)
  notify-osd (R: libnotify1, R: network-manager-gnome)
  xfce4-notifyd (R: libnotify1, R: network-manager-gnome)
  yelp (R: gnumeric-doc, R: gucharmap, S: doc-base)

Conclusion, the winner is the last section, with one line per item. The
first two sections should take a lesson from that last section,
including its R: S: format instead of the wimpy "for". I bet the "for"
could be replaced by D: and perhaps there's even several different
conditions that could be indicated with one letter abbreviations here.
