Not quite.  They both use the same libraries to do the actual work, but
one does not actually execute the other.  The libraries are the "back-end",
and the programs are just interfaces for setting parameters and displaying
output.

Me too.  The colors that apt uses are incompatible with a white background,
and I use terminals with a white background.  Also, I don't like having
the .deb files deleted from /var/cache/apt/archives/ automatically.
