Well, at least the less competent like me would greatly appreciate this!
I vaguely recall using apt back in my NetBSD experimentation many years ago.
MacPorts seems to be the more commonly used tool for installing Unix/Linux
software and does not use apt. The Fink project does use apt and dpkg; I had
used Fink for a while years ago and now cannot remember why I switched to
MacPorts. As I recall, both create their own file system at the root level
(/opt in the case of MacPorts, something else in the case of Fink) rather than
writing into /usr/local in order to make removal very simple- just delete the
application and the /opt directory and it's gone.
BTW, the end result appears very Mac-GUI-like already, except that the
Application menu within the app is titled Python instead of Frescobaldi.
