2014-02-14do not recommend dselect in apt-get manpageDavid Kalnischkies
The current description says: "Many users find dselect intimidating and new users may prefer to use apt-based user interfaces." It doesn't feel right to refer users to it then. Closes: 617625
2013-12-05* document Dpkg::Progress-Fancy (closes: 726169), thanks to James McCoyMichael Vogt
2013-11-30add a vendor specific file to have configurable entitiesDavid Kalnischkies
manpages sometimes refer to distro-specific things like the name of the package providing the achive-keyring. Having a central place to configure this helps in having it consistent in the manpages and allows to load this info from other places in the buildsystem as well later.

2010-05-24* doc/apt-get.8.xml:David Kalnischkies

- add a --only-upgrade flag to install command (Closes: #572259) That is NOT what is requested in e.g. #74067 - this is a very simple flag which behaves orthogonal to --no-upgrade not a full-blown upgrade option for a single package instead of the whole package set.
