Bug#82825: apt: [rfe] two operations at once

[Seth Arnold <sarnold@willamette.edu>]

Package: apt
Severity: wishlist

Greetings!

First, I love apt. Simply wonderful stuff.

Second, it sure would be nice to give a command line such as the
following: "apt-get -u upgrade install foo bar baz" and conditionally
upgrade all packages, and install the packages foo, bar, and baz.

Rationale: sometimes packages won't upgrade due to dependencies.
Allowing this would allow all packages to be upgraded in one go, plus
whatever needed to be done for the foo, bar, and baz packages.

Thanks again for the wonderful software! :)
