I'm apparently not the first to think of this (not that I
expected to be); see, e.g.,

http://bugs.debian.org/97872

No one has touched that bug in four years. Indeed, if you
look at the list of apt bugs generally --

http://bugs.debian.org/apt

-- you'll find that most bugs have just been sitting there.
I wonder why.
