  Description     : commandline frontend for the apt package manager

 nala is a frontend for the apt package manager. It has a lot
 of the same functionality, but formats the output to be more
 human readable. Also implements a history function to see past
 transactions and undo/redo them. Much like Fedora's dnf history.

This package is useful because it improves the UX of managing packages
through the command line with python3-apt. Additionally provides some
extra quality of life features such as a transaction history you can
interact with. I use nala daily, as do many others. Similar packages
include apt and aptitude. Nala improves upon the hardwork of the apt
team by formatting the output in a more readable manner.

At the moment I maintain this program on our GitLab. That is where we
accept bug reports and feature requests. I don't have any problems
accepting bug reports from Debian's system, or emails for that matter.
I regularly accept bug reports from our GitHub as well.

We currently have support for the German language, and I have someone
working on a Spanish po file as well.

Nala is still in active development, but it is very usable. I've had
many people ask me about getting this into the Official Debian repos so
this is my request for that.

I assume that I would be in need of a sponser considering I've never
uploaded anything into a Debian repository. But I did try my best to
make the debian files proper, and I personally use sbuild for building
the software.

In case it is required I do have our repo already mirrored into debian
salse https://salsa.debian.org/volian-team/nala

My users would be thrilled to hear this makes it into the official
repositories. I'm looking forward to your response.
