Bug#197424: apt: apt-get download

[Gabor Gludovatz <ggabor@sopron.hu>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.5.1
Severity: wishlist

apt-get should have a new command called 'download'.

It'd work this way:
apt-get download libqt3

Then it would download the package libqt3 to the current directory without its dependencies.

There could be also a --with-deps switch for this command.
