I will take each in turn. As far as I can tell the options in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ are processed in order, which means that a later file will override *the same* setting made in a previous file (which reminds me I should rename my 00-local-* to 99-local-*). Whether you need to split sources.list and/or apt.conf is really up to you. Personally I prefer to have them split into small logical blocks and removing a setting or source is as simple as # git rm apt/../foobar (yes, I have parts of /etc in git) Regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
