Whoops - sorry!

With "mechanisms" I meant automation - i.e. not "ways to operate APT" 
(which involves reading long descriptions and hope that quality concerns 
are mentioned there, which might be fine for this package specifically) 
but instead "ways to educate APT" - e.g. rely on some debtags hint.

Ah, so it is progress.  Cool!
