Bug#115615: apt-get should take install as default argument

[Duncan Findlay <duncf@home.com>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: wishlist

apt-get <pckg> should automatically mean apt-get install <pckg>.

This seems to make sense to me.  When I apt-get a package, I generally want
to get the package (hence apt-get).

Also, this allows removals of packages to be done easier, ie. apt-get
<pckg>-, etc.

I'm sure this wouldn't be hard to implement, and I'm sure it would be a good
thing.
