In Aptitude, I can execute queued package modification orders (install,
remove, etc) by use of 'aptitude install', with no arguments.

How does one queue packages using only the command line? I'm looking to
duplicate the following sequence done in the curses UI:

sudo aptitude
/* browse package lists, find desired pkgs to install */
Q

Standard information sources (README, usd/aptitude, etc) were no-go as
to getting the information.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Add --schedule-only to the command-line.

Upon grepping the manpage for --schedule-only, I see it (also after
having taken a bit of time away from the problem). Oversight on my part.
Thanks, and sorry to have taken your time with that Daniel.
