    - Hack to prevent debug messages dumping to the screen (Closes:

    - List update now runs APT::Update hooks. (Closes: #476399)

      use the user-visible names, rather than the internal

      Michał Kułach for this one. (Closes: #599209) (LP: #741417)

      'package'.

    source but this was an experimental interface that was never finished.
