Description: Console based apt frontend
APTITUDE is the tentative name for a new curses-based frontend to apt. Currently
this is just a prototype of a lot of differe apt-related UI elements and actions;
there is no central cohesion. Despite this, I still find it to be exciting
enough to pursue. Yes, my friends think I'm a strange person too :)
and luckily, there's an aptitude for potato! (hope it gets some
updates before moving on to the woody-only release...)
