[Bug 1730498] Re: apt man page doesn't mention a lot of it's options

[selivan]

The man page has references to apt-get(8), apt-cache(8), user is
supposed to look for options there. IMHO that's not very obvious.

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:

  Options like --allow-downgrades, --install-recommends and a lot more
  are not listed in man page at all. Only way to guess this options is
  from auto-completion.
