[Bug 1566657] Re: [apt] implement --yes

[David Kalnischkies]

The apt(8) manpage doesn't list any options (okay, it mentions a selected few, but it has no long list like the other manpages).
It lists only subcommands like 'install' or 'show' and refers the reader to the manpage of apt-get or apt-cache or whatever for details because repeating the very same options would not only be a big duplication, but also a freaking long manpage nobody will ever read AND it will also be confusing because the hundreds of options in such a manpage would apply each only to a selected few of the subcommands.

So, yeah, the user will have to read the manpages of the underlying
applications he or she is pointed to be the apt manpages – but given the
potential alternative of lumping all manpages into a single big one,
that feels like a feature.
