apt-get has a "--with-new-pkgs" option to make it act like apt does.

Presumably, then, you can somehow invert this option and give it to
apt, to make apt act like apt-get does.

Good luck figuring out how to invert the option, because the apt(8)
man page is extremely sparse, and doesn't bother listing options.
