Package: apt Version: 0.7.24 Severity: wishlist It would be nice to having a function to mark a package (and all it's automatically installed dependencies) as "temporary" when installing it. So one can safely test a software and then remove it without leaving a lot of unnecessary junk in the system.
If someday one has to get some free space, he can look to temporary installed packaged and then decide to individually confirm or remove them.
