Bug#63643: apt-get does not display reason for removing packages



Package: apt
Version: 0.3.18
Severity: wishlist

Sometimes during an apt-get dist-upgrade apt will want to remove 
a package or put it on hold, and it can be very difficult to track 
down exactly why (for instance, with packages with many deps).  It'd 
be nice to be able to query apt (perhaps through apt-cache) to see 
what apt wants to do with a package and why.
