Interesting toy! I think you mentioned it at Fudcon Boston and I
hadn't been able to recall the right name.

Thinking of using it in the use case of the school server (very
unreliable power, no sysadmins available, 100% unattended updates) -

 - Is it safe to run at boot time via an init script?
 - Is there an easy way to check for pending transactions?
 - Does it have useful exit codes indicating whether it's done anything?

Another good tool to add to the arsenal.

Is that different from `package-cleanup --problems` ?
