For use with dotbot, this plugin allows one to easily install or upgrade a list of apt-get packages.
It's easiest to track this plugin in your dotfiles repo:
git submodule add https://github.com/rubenvereecken/dotbot-apt-get
I also recommend having your apt-get list in a separate file since dotbot will need root privileges in order to use the plugin. Using the plugin will look something like this:
./install -p dotbot-apt-get/aptget.py -c packages.conf.yaml
