Bug#385453: please increase the default request strictness

Subject: Bug#385453: please increase the default request strictness

Newsgroups: linux.debian.bugs.dist
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.2-1
Severity: wishlist

For a few months now, I've been running with
"Aptitude::cmdline::Request-Strictness 10000" in my apt.conf. The
results are very good compared to the defaults; aptitude consistently
gives me solutions that I _want_ instead of something I perceive as
arbitrary scoring, and I rarely need to go beyond the first solution to
get what I want, even for complex pkgsync invocations. IOW, I think this
should become the default in aptitude.
