Bug#747559: apt-setup: netrc auth.conf for apt generated in apt-setup/localx/netrc feature

[bofh80 <afm404@gmail.com>]

Package: apt-setup
Version: 1:0.89
Severity: wishlist
Tags: d-i

Dear Maintainer,

This feature was requested on the irc channel.
It seem apt has a little known feature of /etc/apt/auth.conf in netrc to
authenticate against http apt servers that require username passwords.

Patch is incoming

The only thing missing is that only root is supposed to be able to read it (i
just rememberd :) )
Anyway, chown root:root 700 /etc/apt/auth.conf is supposed to go in somewhere i
guess, any suggestion on where?

Thanks
Anthony F. McInerney
