Bug#909712: apt.conf.5: Documentation for Compressor option missing referenced example



Package: apt
Version: 1.7.0~rc2
Severity: normal

The documentation for the Compressor option says:

>       Compressor
>           This scope defines which compression formats are supported,
>           how compression and decompression can be performed if
>           support for this format isn't built into apt directly and a
>           cost-value indicating how costly it is to compress something
>           in this format. As an example the following configuration
>           stanza would allow apt to download and uncompress as well as
>           create and store files with the low-cost .reversed file
>           extension which it will pass to the command rev without
>           additional commandline parameters for compression and
>           uncompression:

But the example mentioned there does not appear.
