Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: wishlist

Thank you for nice system tools. Here is my feature requests:
 1) -t and other similar commands for apt-cache as in apt-get
 2) preferences file to allow # lead comments (officially)
 3) creation of default preferences file

Here is my long story with example file:

1) 
Even though, 

 # apt-cache -o APT::Default-Release=testing policy packagename

exists, its nice to have equivalent "-t" found in "apt-get" to do

 # apt-cache -t testing policy packagename

This makes life easy.  (Yes, I know -s option for apt-get...)

2)
Also, include a basic sane /etc/apt/preferences with many comment lines
needs to be installed by install script if no file existed during
upgrade.  If testing and unstable entries are added to sources.list
without /etc/apt/preferences, system end up with:

Pin-priority=500 for stable,testing,unstable
Pin-priority=100 for installed package

I think reasonable starting /etc/apt/preferences is:
-------- x8 
# Make stable as default system.
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 500

# Make testing as 2nd priority
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 400

# Make unstable as 3rd priority
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 300
#
# Read "man 5 apt_preferences"
#
# If one wants to track testing (with missing packages from unstable)
# change Pin-priority for testing to 700 and unstable to 600.
#
# If one wants to keep particular package at fixed version do as
# following example. (Remove leading # to activate): 
# Package: apt 
# Pin: version 0.5.*
# Pin-Priority: 2000
#
# If one must force to downgrade to particular distribution, set its
# Pin-priority of the distribution to above 1001.  
#
# apt(5.4) allow meaningless entry which enabled this comments.
# Be careful not to have empty line which break this.
-------- x8

3)
Leading # may not be a correct documented feature, but current engine
disregard strange starting token and happily considers as a comment, I
think ;-)  Of course, adding # lead comment as feature is nice to have.

   [ Michael Vogt ]
   * merge the remaining Ubuntu change:
     - on gpg verification failure warn and restore the last known
       good state
     - on failure display the IP of the server (useful for servers
       that use round robin DNS)
     - support Original-Maintainer in RewritePackageOrder
     - enable cdrom autodetection via libudev by default
     - show message about Vcs in use when apt-get source is run for
       packages maintained in a Vcs
     - better support transitional packages with mark auto-installed.
       when the transitional package is in "oldlibs" the new package
       is not marked auto installed (same is true for section
       metapackages)
     - provide new "deb mirror://archive.foo/mirrors.list sid main"
       method expects a list of mirrors (generated on the server e.g.
       via geoip) and will use that, including cycle on failure
     - write apport crash file on package failure (disabled by default
       on debian until apport is available)
     - support mirror failure reporting (disabled by default on debian)
 .
