Bug#82430: #82430: apt: changing wording



Package: apt
Version: 0.7.10
Followup-For: Bug #82430

a better question to ask is whether this message is even necessary in the 
first place?  directly following that message is
 
  "The following NEW packages will be installed:"

which includes the exact same packages in the "extra" message plus the 
packages the user specified at the command line.  seems like information
is being unnecessarily duplicated.
