Bug#458029: package descriptions are unclear

[Philippe Cloutier <chealer@gmail.com>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.7.6
Severity: normal

The packages descriptions are unclear, particularly about what apt contains.
The short description is "Advanced front-end for dpkg".

The extended description contains

This is Debian's next generation front-end for the dpkg package manager. It 
provides the apt-get utility and APT dselect method that provides a simpler, 
safer way to install and upgrade packages.

This is OK for apt-get and other programs, but there is no mention of libapt. 
Nothing indicates that APT is also a back-end for APT front-ends such as 
aptitude and Synaptic. This is rather confusing, because the primary role of 
apt is and should become more and more to be a back-end for GUI package 
managers and other more refined console tools.
