-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: 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).
