Finding application's description
I've just installed Buster and am selecting which apps on my Stretch
machine I wish to continue to use.
For some reason I had installed Gdebi.
I can't find a good description on which base a decision.
https://packages.debian.org lists no homepage.
https://manpages.debian.org links to https://launchpad.net/gdebi/ which
gives no descriptive material.
From search engine hits I gather was developed when Ubuntu made
installation of deb files inconvenient.
In a straight Debian environment, does it give any advantage over
Synaptic &/or apt?
IIRC I used it when following the development of an app which was not
yet in a official repository.
TIA
