Sorry Bob, how does that prevent aptitude safe-upgrade from downloading packages that have bugs?
I know, and use, apt-listbugs very often now that testing is being deluged with buggy packages from sid, I use it very often, but that was not the question.
I could do aptitude -s safe-upgrade. Then run apt-listbugs with all of the proposed downloads. Then use aptitude to put all the buggy packages on hold. Then run aptitude-safe-upgrade again. then... Well you get the idea. I was trying to suggest a 'better way'.
