Package: apt
Version: 1.0.6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'll give two particular reasons,

recently nvidia-driver was removed from testing, quite a lot of people
complained in IRC after dist-upgrading and removing it without realising.

i did an upgrade personally on a machine today that required 800 updates and 20
removals.
I could not see the 20 removals without using grep or a pager, as it went out
of the scroll buffer on the tty.

It would seem advantageous simply to move the REMOVED package list to the
bottom of the output.

Thanks
Anthony F McInerney (bofh80)
