Typo causes invocation of "apt-get-y" instead of "apt-get -y"

Bug Description

Binary package hint: module-assistant

This concerns module-assistant 0.10.11ubuntu1, in hardy.

A type in the module-assistant script causes a nonexistent program "apt-get-y" to be invoked (when the --non-inter option is given), instead of "apt-get -y" (note the space before the "-y"). This bug interferes with the use of m-a in automated scripts.

This bug report mirrors Debian bug #482638 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=482638). Filing it here, because the Debian maintainer appears to have abandoned the package.
