First of all thank you for retitling what was obviously way off. I
guess this is more better/pertinent.

Same here , I also noticed this quite some time back & like you
was lazy enough not to report it earlier thinking/believing tht the
developers would take a look at it at some point in time.
Unfortunately there have been few releases without anything happening
on this front which prompted me to report the bug (finally) ;)

I actually did read the release notes and do know it is written that
it *is* a drop-in replacement for apt-get. But functionally as can be
seen it has still some way to go before I can completely rely on it.
The above scenario is just one e.g. for that.
As far as debian developers are concerned, don't know hence can't
comment anything. Hopefully things will improve in the future. Till
next time ;)
