If you use zsh completion, then you can get things like
apt-get i<tab> etc. All apt-*'s commands are completed for you.

And if you feel like waiting for zsh to generate a list of packages,
you can even do apt-get install z<tab> (but on my machine it takes a
long time, so it's just quicker to type it out in full).

There might be bash-equivalents, but the zsh Debian packages come
with all these completions and more :)

HTH,

Bernard.
