[Aptitude-devel] Bug#204614: mutt-like tag-foo would be VERY nice

[martin f krafft]

Package: aptitude
Followup-For: Bug #204614

I was just about to file this issue again, when I had the hunch to
search for "mutt" — and yes, someone before me has had this idea!

Especially on slow machines, it's a real pain to have to wait after
every action before I can navigate to the next package and apply the
next action.

Either tagging, or queuing of actions and multi-threaded navigation
while actions are being computed would be great.
