I don't use aptitude(*), and apt-listchanges only shows you the changes
AFTER you say Y to start the upgrade...doesn't give you the option to
change your mind after you've read the changes.
i do routinely use 'apt-cache show' to examine the details of various
packages, including the Description.
(*) i'm probably one of the last remaining dselect users, and i rarely
ever run that any more. aptitude is a huge improvement over dselect but
there's just way too many packages to wade through in either dselect or
aptitude. when building a new debian box, i tend to just install the
base system and 'apt-get install' the packages i need, or use 'dpkg
--get-selections "*"' and 'dpkg --set-selections' to clone the list of
packages to install from one system to another.
