The new behavior is ${_APTMGR} -y to suppress prompts from package manager. This is a regression because you don't see anymore which packages have been kept back, which will be upgraded and which will be removed. With a complex setup a non-interactive behavior can be dangerous.

I know why this switch was introduced but imho two prompts are better then a single less meaningful one. If you save decision of first promt (see #15) -y can easily be removed.

I recklessly merged a few requests a while back and need to clean things up anyway - duly noted.
