Package: apt Version: 0.5.5.1 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/apt-get Often one can estimate one has extra bandwidth for oh, one megabyte of downloads on the next modem call.
What better way to use it than upgrading some packages. But simply using apt-get dist-upgrade will get many megabytes, so it would be nice if we could on the command line give apt-get a size limit, telling it to find a nice combo of packages that won't exceed one megabyte. One could also specify one wants priority on the smallest packages of the biggest packages, etc.
