[packagekit] Status of the APT backend

[PEDRO MACANAS VALVERDE]

Richard Hughes:

>It's a good and important question. I do see the need for tools such as
synaptic to do the really power user stuff and I also see the need for a
application->package tool, but I have to admit I'm not sure on what the
latter should look like, or if it should be part of PackageKit core at
all.

We could do something similar to JIG http://wajig.togaware.com/ , adding
some features (as apt-zip / Opyum, but based on the web) for all the
distros .
