- Bug#235806: ITP: apt-best -- apt-best is a utility to help users in finding the most popular debian packages. For that, it uses the popularity scores found in different sources (freshmeat, sourceforge and google). It then displays the packages matching the search criteria with their associated scores. The user can then install the selected package with the debian package installer : apt-get
