Bug#458026: Advanced Package or Packaging Tool?
Package: apt-howto, apt
Severity: normal
apt and apt-howto are inconsistent in their expansions of "APT". apt expands
it to "Advanced Package Tool" in apt-doc's extended description and in
apt(8). apt-howto expands it to "Advanced Packaging Tool" in chapter 1:
Here again, Debian led the way and gave birth to APT, the Advanced Packaging
Tool, which has since been ported by Conectiva for use with rpm and has been
adopted by some other distributions.
I think "packaging" means it would be used for making packages, so I think
that "package" makes more sense, but I am not a native English speaker. I
can't tell which package is buggy.
