My actual point, is to point user to the correct apt manual for all
available subcommands, as "Kalnischkies" mentioned in prior thread, not
just only for frequently used subcommands. Since apt is a wrap-around
for APT, so it will be hard for users to find right apt manual (for
example, apt-get, apt-cache, etc.) for an "infrequently" used subcommand
and users don't have to look somewhere else other man page for help.
