+   <para><command>apt</command> (Advanced Package Tool) is the
+   command-line tool for handling packages. It provides a commandline
+   interface for the package management of the system.
+
+   See also &apt-get; and &apt-cache; for more low-level command options.
+   </para>
+
+   <variablelist>
+     <varlistentry><term><option>list</option></term>
+     <listitem><para><literal>list</literal> is used to
+     display a list of packages. It supports shell pattern for matching
+     package names and the following options:
+       <option>--installed</option>
+       <option>--upgradable</option>
+       <option>--all-versions</option>
+     are supported.

+
+     <para>A specific version of a package can be selected for installation by 
+     following the package name with an equals and the version of the package

+     install. Alternatively a specific distribution can be selected by 
+     following the package name with a slash and the version of the 
+     distribution or the Archive name (stable, testing, unstable).</para>

+  <para>
+   The &apt; commandline is designed as a end-user tool and it may
+   change the output between versions. While it tries to not break
+   backward compatibility there is no guarantee for it either.
+   All features of &apt; are available in  &apt-cache; and &apt-get;
+   via APT options. Please prefer using these commands in your scripts.
+  </para>

+
+ <refsect1><title>Differences to &apt-get;</title>
+ <para>The <command>apt</command> command is meant to be pleasant for
+ end users and does not need to be backward compatilbe like
+ &apt-get;. Therefore some options are different:
+ 
+ <itemizedlist>
+   <listitem>
+     <para>The option <literal>DPkgPM::Progress-Fancy</literal> is enabled.
+     </para>
+   </listitem>

+     <para>The option <literal>APT::Color</literal> is enabled.
+     </para>
+   </listitem>
+   <listitem>
+     <para>A new <literal>list</literal> command is available
+     similar to <literal>dpkg --list</literal>.
+     </para>
+   </listitem>
+   <listitem>
+     <para>The option <literal>upgrade</literal> has
+     <literal>--with-new-pkgs</literal> enabled by default.
