Package: apt
Version: 1.0.1
Severity: wishlist

With apt-get it was very useful to do "apt-get --purge autoremove" to purge
the packages instead of just removing them.
The new apt executable doesn't allow this. When the --purge option is used the
message "E: Command line option --purge is not understood" is returned.

It would be really nice if the --purge option would be added to /usr/bin/apt.

Not sure when exactly and its a bit hard to figure out since then, but at least
the current experimental releases support --purge (unstable doesn't), so I am
closing as done.
