[Bug 1186924] [NEW] "apt-get install taskname^" is not documented

[Axel Beckert]

Public bug reported:

% GET https://patches.ubuntu.com/a/apt/apt_0.9.7.7ubuntu4.patch | fgrep 'taskname^'
+  * merged "install-task" branch (use with "apt-get install taskname^")
-  * merged "install-task" branch (use with "apt-get install taskname^")
+    with "apt-get install taskname^"

(I had to use the online version as the changelog installed by the
package is unfortunately truncated.)

This feature is not documented in apt-get(8)despite it seems patched
into apt since Edgy. Checked the man-pages of Precise and Raring.

** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
