Does apt-get support scheduled actions at all?

Because I don't think that it does, and in that case I don't understand
why it is relevant to mention it here, and what's the disadvantage with
aptitude w.r.t. apt.

Frankly, I also don't see the disadvantage of using a simple combination
of commands in the shell rather than complicating aptitude more and
more.

And if this was to be implemented, I think that it's better to make
*-upgrades have scheduled actions into account unconditionally, if
possible at all, rather than adding yet more config options.  But I am
leaning more towards +wontfix.


Cheers.
