I think your question has been answered in more than one way,
demonstrating the flexibility of debian.

One more suggestion/advice: I like to use aptitude just as it is. Just
run 'aptitude' without arguments. You will get a nice visual interface.
'?' without the quotes gives a short help indes, other functions are
available through a menu. '/' starts a search field. etc.

Explore yourself. Yours to discover ;=)
