Bug#433302: should display number of packages set for removal *directly* above "Do you want to continue" query
Package: apt
Version: 0.7.3
We (using sid) found regular dist-upgrading rather dangerous due to its
unstable nature. Rather often packages would get removed due to
(admittedly) our not properly "parsing" apt's output. While talking about
the idea of having apt color the number of packages set for removal the
idea of simply swapping two lines in its output came up, i.e. replacing
15 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 1 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
Need to get 82.5MB/87.9MB of archives.
After unpacking 9339kB disk space will be freed.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

I know sid users are not of your primary concern, but I can't see any
detriments for testing and stable users.
