I was recently told about the feature to append a minus sign (-) to a
package name when apt-get install:ing, to have the package removed.

Despite having read (or skimmed) the man page for apt-get quite a few
times over the years, I did not know about this. Probably because it
is not very visible to the eye. Thus, I marked the signs that are
mentioned in the man file, as is done with the minus above.

If you like this, a patch is included (for the English document).
