especially when one is looking for files with changed names. Synaptic
allows searching on partial names and one can scroll though a list, looking
for likely candidates and reading the notes for particular files to see if
there's a possible "match". For me the synaptic gui compensates for my age
induced inability to remember what I've read in command line. I reserve my
use of apt-get for when I know exactly what I need.

IIRC, you can use "apt-cache search" and use wildcards (or maybe even
regex) to search for packages on the commands line.
