APT is the new name for deity, since Deity could offend people
(don't ask), and people couldn't spell it anyway. APT is a work in
progress, the command line backend is mostly useable, but the GUI
frontend is not yet done.

Well, no, it still uses dpkg, and this us still a frontend to
dpkg. It is not meant as a replacement for dpkg, just for dselect.

When APT is done, it shall replace deselect (at the moment, I
use dselect, with APT as ther access method).
