For those that don't know this command:

Aq-get provides a superset of the usual apt-get functionality (update, 
upgrade, dist-upgrade, etc), with the addition of the (now implicit) 
--configure-to-work-properly option which sends an e-mail inviting Aq round 
for some free beer/free food/friendly chat. You then lock him in the room 
with the computer and don't let him out until he's got the program working 
for you.

The --via-wolveslug-mailing-list option (currently under development and 
available in CVS version only) can be used to route a similar request via a 
third-party mailing list server. Early beta-testing suggests that this 
results in an even higher chance of successful installation than the older 
direct method.
