              error => pkg-apt: "apt [command]" with no
              parameters does not return an error or message

Comment:

 The problem is actually more generalised, most of the commands do not
 return an error or usage message if the required parameter(s) are not
 there. This might be a good opportunity to look into using `optparse`
 instead of `getopt` (c.f. [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20063/whats-
 the-best-way-to-grab-parse-command-line-arguments-passed-to-a-python-scrip
 Stack Overflow: parse command line]). This would also deal with ''# FIXME:
 list only usable command line parameters, not all functions'' in `def
 usage` at the same time.
