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.

Version: 2.0.2-3+rm

The apt-howto package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/493787 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
