I'm very grateful for Synaptic's "History" window, and I've used it a few times
to roll back some changes I've made to my system - but to do this, I manually
type out the packages listed in History into an apt-get command. I know that
Synaptic offers its "Undo" function, but I don't like to use it because it
doesn't offer much clarity of what, specifically, is being undone, in the
context of package history.

What I would really love would be if you could change package markings directly
from the History window, or otherwise have an option to "roll back" to a
specified point that's noted in Synaptic's History.

Thanks to all the devs who make this software so wonderful! You all deserve a
hug.
