Bug#85674: apt wishlist

Package: apt

Subject: apt wishlist
Severity: wishlist

I thought it would be nice if when installing with apt we could assign a "session" name.  Then later we could remove all applications
+installed when "session" was created.  As an example tonight I wanted to install task-kde which has something like 54 dependencies.  If in a
+week I didn't want KDE I'd have to track down all 54 install packages and remove them manually.  There are ways to record what apt installs,
+but creating such lists manually each time would be a pain.


Coruscant:~# apt-get session=FOO install task-kde
"...0 packages upgraded, 55 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded...."


Coruscant:~# apt-get remove <FOO>
"...0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 55 to remove and 0 not upgraded...."
