Bug#882841: please implement option for terse simulation output

[Marc Haber <mh+debian-packages@zugschlus.de>]

Package: apt
Version: 1.6~alpha5
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I would love to have in my .bash_profile a call to apt which just prints
terse output about pending upgrades. I currently have:

apt-get -o "APT::Get::Show-User-Simulation-Note=no" --quiet --just-print upgrade | grep -vE '^(Reading|Building|Calculating|Inst|Conf) '

and would like to get rid of the -o and the grep.

Can I turn off apt's "apt does not have a stable CLI interface" warning
via an option?

Greetings
Marc
