*Should* have been:-
Notes:-
*Fragments are processed in alpha order (numbers, then the following
letters)- i.e. 10something will *be over-ruled by* 11something

To be clearer - apt-config processes the rules in alpha order, if two
rules conflict the last rule processed over-rules an earlier rule.


I don't know whether /etc/apt/apt.conf is processed before fragments in
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d  - but I'd be interested in learning. Anyone??


My apologies for the misinformation (note to self - sack editor)
