debian
This plugin provides Debian-related aliases and functions for zsh.
To use it add debian to the plugins array in your zshrc file.

Settings
$apt_pref: use aptitude or apt if installed, fallback is apt-get.$apt_upgr: use upgrade or safe-upgrade (for aptitude).
Set both $apt_pref and $apt_upgr to whatever command you want (before sourcing Oh My Zsh) to override this behavior, e.g.:
apt_pref='apt'
apt_upgr='full-upgrade'
