apt-get suggestions



When running:

$ apt-get -s install wine

It prints:

Updating package status cache...done
Checking system integrity...ok
The following extra packages will be installed:
  libwine0.0.971116 mesag3 libncurses4 
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  mesag3 libncurses4 
2 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 219 not 
upgraded.
Inst libncurses4
Inst mesag3
Inst wine []
Inst libwine0.0.971116
Conf libncurses4
Conf mesag3
Conf libwine0.0.971116
Conf wine

Please consider adding version numbers and archive locations to the 
above list. This would help identifying if the user really wants the 
upgrade (as in keeping certain packages frozen only, but loading 
unstable for others).

Also as to the above, it also would be beneficial to be able to specify 
which archives to check when providing version numbers (again to keep a 
certain package frozen, although unstable version is already available).

Thanks
