Increasing the verbosity of "apt-get"

[Camaleón <noelamac@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I wonder if it is possible to increase the verbosity of "apt-get" console 
output.

For example, in my perpetual "testing" machine, I use this one-liner to 
update the system:

***
apt-get update && apt-get -V dist-upgrade
***

But sometimes I get new packages to be installed (mostly due to 
dependencies coming from another packages) and I would like to know more 
information about the source (what package requirement pulls the 
installation of the new package, from what repo is the package to be 
installed coming, etc...).

Greetings,
