Bug#313647: apt: new feature

[Guillaume Florey <flo.guillaume@edux.ch>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.28.6
Severity: wishlist

Hi,
I was thinking about a new feature, maybe it is not a new one... If a
maintain a server or 2-3 desktop machine, it will be cool to install or
remove or upgrade packages like this:

# apt-get install kdm@192.168.1.34  [return]
# Password :

then you give the root password of the machine (here it is 192.168.1.34)
and then apt goes ssh to it and install kdm in it, the screen messages,
like: do you want to continue ? appears on the local machine, not on
192.168.1.34 

Sorry for my bad explanation, but I hope you understand what I mean or
just ask me back

Thanks

Guillaume Florey
