I think you have the wrong mailing list, but, `man apt` says:
apt provides a high-level commandline interface for the package
management system. It is intended as an end user interface and
enables
some options better suited for interactive usage by default compared
to
more specialized APT tools like apt-get(8) and apt-cache(8).
This does not make me think that `apt` and `apt-get` are intended to have
the same behavior in all operations (given that some options are explicitly
(well the "some" is explicit, which actually are is not) enabled in `apt`
only by default.
