I do not use “the new apt ” anything command. It is purely optional,
and you can use apt-cache and apt-get as you are used to.

Yes.
Something like this:
“apt-get --purge dist-upgrade pinentry-curses pinentry-gtk2- xulrunner-17.0-”
This means: do a dist-upgrade, but purge pinentry-gtk2 and install
pinentry-curses during it (like "first" but better, dependency-wise)
and do not even bothering upgrading xulrunner-17.0 since I no longer
need it anyway.

The hyphen-minus at the end means “remove, not install, this package”.
It also works like “apt-get install foo bar- baz bla-”.

List works for me…
