Title:
  [Wishlist] apt command: add more subcommands to autocomplete, help and
  manpage

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  It seems has a lot more subcommands than those listed in the manpage or the help message.
  For example, "download", "policy", "changelog" and "dist-upgrade" all work, and they aren't listed.
  Maybe apt supports all subcommands from apt-get and apt-cache?

  However those subcommands aren't listed in the manpage or the help message.
  They also don't have autocomplete, which makes using them a pain, and makes me use apt-get and apt-cache instead.

  It would be great if all those subcommand were listed in the manpage
  and help message, and if there was autocomplete for them!
