Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.4-1

Aptitude is a great package manager, but one important thing is missing 
- a possibility to add/edit packages' repositories (sources.list file or 
files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ folder).
This possibility exists in the majority of package managers, like 
synaptic or smartpm, so why aptitude users should exit from aptitude and 
run "editor /etc/apt/sources.list" manually when they wanna add or edit 
software repositories ? With apt 0.6.43 release, editing packages 
repositories in text mode became even harder - user should care not only 
about sources.list file, but also about files in 
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ folder :(

I think it's not hard to add an editing ability of packages' 
repositories  in aptitude by showing contents of the files from 
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ folder + /etc/apt/sources.list file, letting 
user to select wanted entry and then starting command:

editor 'file, which contains user's chosen entry'
