Dixit Martin F. Krafft who wrote the book 'The Debian System' : Package management is among the most important features of an operating system. The most basic features of a good package management system are easy installation and removal of packages. The system should keep track of the files it drops onto the filesystem and be able to remove them later without leaving a trace.

An more in-dept explanation of how package management can be used within Debian can be found on the next pages.
