Hi,
# apt-get --dry-run
E: Command line option --dry-run is not understood
The manual page for apt-get contains:
-s, --simulate, --just-print, --dry-run, --recon, --no-act
No action; perform a simulation of events that
would occur but do not actually change the system.
Configuration Item: APT::Get::Simulate.
Here's a patch against the CVS version:

Or this, if you wish to leave the option (I have no opinion, either is fine :)

Also, yodl is missing from Build-Depends:, and that is apparently required
to build the manual pages from .yo files.
Please fix these, thanks.
