Y'know what, I'm getting sick of apt having this feature and not documenting it anywhere. So I decided to do an "apt-get source apt" and try to find it in the freakin' code.
The relevant test is:
if (I != nullptr && (I[0] == '/' || (I[0] == '.' && (I[1] == '\0' || (I[1] == '.' && (I[2] == '\0' || I[2] == '/')) || I[1] == '/'))))
So, basically, if the argument starts with / or ./ or ../ (or if the
argument is . or ..) it's processed directly.
