Package: apt
Version: 0.5.5.1
Severity: wishlist

Often when I am logged in to someone else's system I want to download a package
to my home directory to unpack, examine, or transfer elsewhere.

"apt-get -d install package" wants to put the package in
/var/cache/apt/archives which is not writable by non-root.

I would like to be able to tell it to download into another directory that I
have write access to.

     - allow conflicts in the same group again (Closes: #612099)

       in the autoremove section and installing those (Closes: #604222)
     - change pkg/release behavior to use the new SetCandidateRelease
       so installing packages from experimental or backports is easier

       requested on the commandline, e.g. with a modifier (Closes: #184730)
     - always do removes first and set not installed remove packages

       default value of Acquire::GzipIndexes.
