[Cialug] apt-get --pretend

Every once in a while I want to run apt-get with the
don't-really-do-it-just-show-me-what-you-would-do option.  I always
forget what it is, so I look in the man page.  But when I try to
forward slash search for it in the man page, I can't remember what
it's called.  I end up searching for "pretend" or "fake" and then I'm
stumped for what else it could be.

This happens once a month or so.  Gentoo wants me back, I think.
