-Description: Advanced front-end for dpkg
- This is Debian's next generation front-end for the dpkg package manager.
- It provides the apt-get utility and APT dselect method that provides a
- simpler, safer way to install and upgrade packages.
+Description: APT's commandline package manager
+ This package provides commandline tools for searching and
+ managing as well as querying information about packages
+ as a low-level access to all features of the libapt-pkg library.
.
- APT features complete installation ordering, multiple source capability
- and several other unique features, see the Users Guide in apt-doc.
+ These include:
+ * apt-get for retrieval of packages and information about them
+ from authenticated sources and for installation, upgrade and
+ removal of packages together with their dependencies
+ * apt-cache for querying available information about installed
+ as well as installable packages
+ * apt-cdrom to use removable media as a source for packages
+ * apt-config as an interface to the configuration settings
+ * apt-key as an interface to manage authentication keys

-Description: Library for apt
- This package contains the library used by apt.
+Description: APT's package managment runtime library
+ This library provides the common functionality for searching and
+ managing packages as well as information about packages.
+ Higher-level package managers can depend upon this library.
+ .
+ This includes:
+ * retrieval of information about packages from multiple sources
+ * retrieval of packages and all dependent packages
+ needed to satisfy a request either through an internal
+ solver or by interfacing with an external one
+ * authenticating the sources and validating the retrieved data
+ * installation and removal of packages in the system
+ * providing different transports to retrieve data over cdrom, ftp,
+ http, rsh as well as an interface to add more transports like
+ https (apt-transport-https) and debtorrent (apt-transport-debtorrent).

+ to package managment with APT.
.
- apt-extracttemplates is used by debconf to prompt for configuration
- questions before installation. apt-ftparchive is used to create Package
- and other index files. apt-sortpkgs is a Package/Source file normalizer.

-Description: APT https transport
- This package contains a APT https transport. It makes it possible to
- use 'deb https://foo distro main' lines in the sources.list.
+Description: https download transport for APT
+ This package enables the usage of 'deb https://foo distro main' lines
+ in the /etc/apt/sources.list so that all package managers using the
+ libapt-pkg library can access metadata and packages available in sources
+ accessable over https (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure).
+ .
+ This transport supports server as well as client authenification
+ with certificates.
