The term I meant is written in german in this way (= with a single n) but in english there are two, aka: 'planner'. As that is unreleased code switching all instances without any transitional provisions. Also the reason why its skipped in changelog.

The description reads: APT-based tools like apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, … work with the user to figure out how their system should look like after they are done installing/removing packages and their dependencies. The actual installation/removal of packages is done by dpkg with the constrain that dependencies must be fulfilled at any point in time (e.g. to run maintainer scripts). Historically APT has a super micro-management approach to this task which hasn't aged that well over the years mostly ignoring changes in dpkg and growing into an unmaintainable mess hardly anyone can debug and everyone fears to touch – especially as more and more requirements are tacked onto it like handling cycles and triggers, dealing with "important" packages first, package sources on removable media, touch minimal groups to be able to interrupt the process if needed (e.g. unattended-upgrades) which not only sky-rocket complexity but also can be mutually exclusive as you e.g. can't have minimal groups and minimal trigger executions at the same time. 2016-05-25T06:32:01Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2016-05-25T06:32:01Z urn:sha1:cb6020cdfea3d6dec6f6ad13843ab46f0c10d562 Git-Dch: Ignore 2016-05-08T16:15:28Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2016-05-08T16:03:48Z urn:sha1:39c724b4848ef8d85c8c425f982dda85f0df1277 A frontend like apt-file is only interested in a specific set of files and selects those easily via "Created-By". If it supports two locations for those files through it would need to select both and a user would need to know that implementation detail for sources.list configuration. The "Identifier" field is hence introduced which by default has the same value as "Created-By", but can be freely configured – especially it can be used to give two indexes the same identifier. 2014-04-28T10:57:01Z Michael Vogt mvo@debian.org 2014-04-28T10:57:01Z urn:sha1:a6f22547948f1f998c754850c9ddeb3cba784873 2011-04-04T09:57:04Z Stefano Zacchiroli zack@upsilon.cc 2011-04-04T09:57:04Z urn:sha1:a1421e1e452e36b3f82a1cf23d2bf806ca9262c1 2010-02-12T23:39:10Z David Kalnischkies kalnischkies@gmail.com 2010-02-12T23:39:10Z urn:sha1:9a230738b2287dc5316f601ff0b4765eff9d898d and install it in the apt-doc package.
