Yes, I really need to add a listing of the known apt front-ends to
http://linuxmafia.com/debian/tips .  aptitude is quite popular, and is a
fairly clean and easy-to-use ncurses utility.  Some people also like
synaptic, an X11/GTK+ (I think) utility that's roughly similar, but more
fancy.

There are a ton of others.  I have a list on paper, somewhere.

Personally, I just use apt-get and apt-cache from the command line.
