wajig

I recently came-across wajig while looking for a way to show the suggested packages for an installed package. The short story on wajig is that it is basically an abstraction layer for various apt and dpkg utilities... and its works very similar to apt-get except has additional directives that allow you to do things like install the suggested packages for a package, or install the recommended packages, or install both the recommended and suggested packages, or find out what package a file belongs to, etc. Its very slick, check it out!
