suggestion for apt



today i noticed, when i tried to recover my machine from an overlapped fat
partion, that apt needs an new feature... 

'forced download + install'

while i tried to force apt to install the packaged which had files missing,
it refused.. and when i didn't have those packages anywhere else either.. i
had no other choice than to just remove the package manually.. (risking my
system, gzip and tar are quite essential =) and then try to just install
the packages with apt... (this could have been done manually by searching
the package from somewhere... but apt is simpler...)
