Bug#50537: apt: wish: command line one time URI specification



Package: apt
Version: 0.3.14
Severity: wishlist

It would be great if apt-get could support a temporary command line addition
to the URI sources list.  This would be useful for adding a single package
on an archive that you don't want to keep the Package list of that archive
current.  During this one time install apt-get would not update the Package
lists from the sources.list file but only grab the Package file from the
command line URI.  

apt-get --uri "deb http://site.org/debian update/" install package

If package had any depencies then apt would of course use them from the 
sites in sources.list.
