I like `l`imiting the package view and `/`searching for specific
packages. How's that in Synaptic? `e`xamine mode allows me to explore
dependencies in a quite efficient way. Exploring new packages,
traversing their dependencies, etc. is quite instructive.

But aptitude is far from a great GUI. I'm confused between apt,
apt-get, aptitude, dpkg, apt-cache, etc. That's a lot of complicated
programs with divergent interfaces that overlap a lot. I'd like a
simple interface to the system packages that doesn't require looking at
the manual or waiting 10 years to master.

Something like git. No wait, self-documenting, not too many commmands:
a high-level interface with a complete API for scripting under the hood.
Interactive mode needs to be helpful to humans.

Any recommended aptitude settings that you feel should be default?
