No one has mentioned wajig yet. From the man page:


       wajig packages into one tool many commands useful for managing a Debian
       system. Instead of having to remember whether to use dpkg or apt-get or
       apt-cache,  etc,  wajig  does the selection of the appropriate tool for
       you.

I've used it for several years now and have no complaints.
