Hi everybody. I'm new to this project.

I'm writing because I've got a patch to improve APT usage under Debian
systems. It adds support for targets other then 'install'.
I think it could be useful, in particular the support for source packages
(the 'source' target.)
Actually, is just a few new lines in the do_Debian_pkg() function inside
RecPython.py.

I'm a Debian user but I have no source package to try, therefore I need
someone to test the 'source' target for me. Thanks.

Finally I've got a minor (or maybe not so small) problem that happened.
I'm using a set of CD as sources for the packages and APT issues me which
CD to insert to actually install a certain pkg. Sadly this message does not
happear when using aap. What's wrong? Is this message sent to stderr and
thus logged? Doesn't seem.
I have no clue, if somebody knows or finds out what's causing it please
send something here.

Thanks in advance.

Giulio
