Package: apt
Version: 0.5.0
Severity: wishlist

Apt has definitely useful features that dpkg does not have, but which would
be useful locally.

Example: while doing major changes in how sets of packages relate, or while
investigating what changes will need to be done because of incompatibilities
with previous versions of other packages, sometimes dpkg just can't do the
job in one run, whereas apt has the capability of ordering unpacks, then
configuring the whole.

What I imagine would be something like "apt-get install-files file1.deb
...", which would maybe internally create a temporary internal source,
generate a Packages file for this source using the named debs, and proceed
as usual.

Do you think it's easily doable ?

This works in experimental, with a path.
