I would like this feature in apt-get.
Since this is just a mailing list of Debian users, no one here is
empowered to do what you ask.
The proper procedure would be to report it as a wishlist bug on apt-get
in the Debian bug tracker. However as purely my lowly user opinion, it
is a terrible idea and will be instantly rejected.
All that will happen in this thread though is a back and forth about
whether it's a good idea or not. It will not actually happen.
Thanks,

I think that "All that will happen ..." is overly pessimistic.
Replies have already:
- described why the details of the request be in message body.
- warned of consequences of indiscriminate use of proposed feature.
- suggested how/why/where a feature request should be directed.
Also that the Subject contains "Re: ..." and the message was also
directed to a specific person indicates a more than momentary interest.
Hopefully, one result will be that he will be comfortable asking more
questions.
