=head1 NAME
debget - Fetch a .deb for a package in APT's database
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<debget> I<package> [I<package> ...]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<debget> fetches a .deb for one or more packages from an Debian mirror.
It uses apt-get(1) to find out the URL so it will download the same version
from the same server as I<apt-get> would do. The .deb will be downloaded with
curl(1) and stored in your current working directory.
=head1 KNOWN BUGS
B<debget> will not work for packages that are available in I<apt-get>'s cache.
If you need that functionality please use the .I<download> option in
I<aptitude>.
