While `apt` works really well and its output hasn't changed since I
started using it (wheezy or jessie) - I still want to mention it's output
when piping:
```
WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in
scripts. ```
potentially consider either using our code directly or switching to 
`dpkg -l`?
(but as said `apt` has been pretty stable, and we simply dump the output -
so probably the warning is not too relevant here)
