This didn't happen in the 1.4.x series, and last I heard about it (a few weeks back), the plan was for 1.5.x to start featuring some assistant; but that's definitely post-bookworm. There were too many things to handle already, I haven't even tried to rework the internal dpkg database part… Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois -- Debian Consultant @ DEBAMAX -- https://debamax.com/
