Bug Description
Binary package hint: aptitude
Lately I've been running "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade", and I've been wondering if it would be possible to pass more that one command to aptitude at once, example:
sudo aptitude update, dist-upgrade
sudo aptitude remove foo, install bar
or
sudo aptitude update + dist-upgrade
sudo aptitude remove foo + install bar
or something simmilar to that, instead of having to run
sudo aptitude remove foo && sudo aptitude install bar
I just think it would be a nice feature, for the lazy people, or those who have trouble typing ( may I suggest typespeed ), or even those who have to pass more than one command to aptitude.

This is, to some extent, already possible. For instance,
aptitude install foo_ bar
will purge foo and install bar.
