    hidden support more apt-get/apt-cache commands in apt · 9055d5e6
    David Kalnischkies authored
    apt is supposed to be a user-friendly interface, so while these commands
    are usually poweruser material and therefore do not need to be shown in
    general introduction manpages/help messages its of no use to not allow
    users to use them.
    
    This includes clean, autoclean, build-dep, source, download, changelog,
    depends, rdepends and showsrc – it doesn't include more non-interactive
    commands like dump or xvcg as those are usually used by scripts if at
    all.
    
    Closes: 778234, 780700, 781237
