+:mod:`apt.package` --- Classes for package handling
+====================================================
+
+
+.. automodule:: apt.package
+
+
+The Package class
+-----------------
+.. autoclass:: Package
+    :members:
+
+    .. note::
+
+        Several methods have been deprecated in version 0.7.9 of python-apt,
+        please see the :class:`Version` class for the new alternatives.
+
+The Version class
+-----------------
+.. autoclass:: Version
+    :members:
+
+
+Dependency Information
+----------------------
+.. class:: BaseDependency
+
+    The :class:`BaseDependency` class defines various attributes for accessing
+    the parts of a dependency. The attributes are as follows:
+
+    .. attribute:: name
+
+        The name of the dependency
+
+    .. attribute:: relation
+
+        The relation (>>,>=,==,<<,<=,)
+
+    .. attribute:: version
+
+        The version or None.
+
+    .. attribute:: pre_depend
+
+        Boolean value whether this is a pre-dependency.
+
+.. class:: Dependency
+
+    The dependency class represents a Or-Group of dependencies. It provides
+    an attribute to access the :class:`BaseDependency` object for the available
+    choices.
+
+    .. attribute:: or_dependencies
+
+        A list of :class:`BaseDependency` objects which could satisfy the
+        requirement of the Or-Group.
+
+
+Origin Information
+-------------------
+.. class:: Origin
+
+    The :class:`Origin` class provides access to the origin of the package.
+    It allows you to check the component, archive, the hostname, and even if
+    this package can be trusted.
+
+    .. attribute:: archive
+
+        The archive (eg. unstable)
+
+    .. attribute:: component
+
+        The component (eg. main)
+
+    .. attribute:: label
+
+        The Label, as set in the Release file
+
+    .. attribute:: origin
+
+        The Origin, as set in the Release file
+
+    .. attribute:: site
+
+        The hostname of the site.
+
+    .. attribute:: trusted
+
+       Boolean value whether this is trustworthy. An origin can be trusted, if
+       it provides a GPG-signed Release file and the GPG-key used is in the
+       keyring used by apt (see apt-key).
+
+Examples
+---------
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    import apt
+
+    cache = apt.Cache()
+    pkg = cache['python-apt'] # Access the Package object for python-apt
+    print 'python-apt is trusted:', pkg.candidate.origins[0].trusted
+
+    # Mark python-apt for install
+    pkg.mark_install()
+
+    print 'python-apt is marked for install:', pkg.marked_install
+
+    print 'python-apt is (summary):', pkg.candidate.summary
+
+    # Now, really install it
+    cache.commit()
