Well, it would be nice to push this functionality into a lower layer of the system so it's available to more people and so the different implementations can share state. There exists a branch of apt that does this. There also exists a branch of aptitude that uses apt's tracking instead of its own (and does forward-migration as you would expect). Unfortunately, the apt branch hasn't been uploaded AFAIK. I don't know why not. Daniel
