Package: apt
Version: 0.8.10.3+squeeze1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

apt-get is a frequently used command (by some). Could you provide an alias/symlink named apt for it?

apt-get is over twice as long as yum, so the speedup would be > 2 :p

Greetings,

Olaf

This has been fixed by the upload of apt 1.0 a few months ago. The apt
package now provides a binary called apt -- which is different from
apt-get, though, but offers everything apt-get does plus what
apt-cache does and some more.

>From the changelog entry:

   [ Michael Vogt ]
   * install apt binary
   * add apt.8.xml manpage
