Implementation: #14280

--dry-run is an important feature for commands with side effects to help

  • Give users confidence in what the commands will do (e.g. what binaries will be installed)
  • Offer a tool for users and developers to debug subsets of the functionality
  • Allow scripts to check the status of the system

Unresolved questions

  • Should we compile packages?

Testing instructions: #11123 (comment)
