Package: feta (1.4.15+etch1)

simpler interface to APT, dpkg, and other package tools

Feta is a front end to various package management tools like dpkg, APT, and debconf. Feta provides a wrapper around these and other programs and tries to smooth out some of the inconsistencies between their normal interfaces. It also includes a teaching mode to help people learn to use the programs directly.
