I use it daily and for trivial upgrades.
Not efficient to have multiple choices. Debian, please choose one and
deprecate the others.
Debian is all about multiple choices. Debian
Deep thoughts:
Debian docs seem to say that apt-get is best for significant upgrades.
Why?
But that aptitude is best for daily package management.
