@martijnbraam If it's installation speed (and not download speed) and you don't care about integrity on e.g. power outages then `eatmydata apt <whatever>` might help.
@martijnbraam I think things are just split a bit differently (e.g. `dpkg --set-selections`, `apt-mark auto`, etc). An upside of apk to me seems that you have *one* interface rather than dpkg, apt, apt-get, aptitude.
