Bug#88898: apt: apt stopped using DPkg:: config directives

[Ira Abramov <ira@ren.scso.com>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.2
Severity: important

 used to heve these two lines in apt.conf for lilo upgrades:

DPkg::Pre-Invoke {"mount -o remount,rw /boot";};
DPkg::Post-Invoke {"mount -o remount,ro /boot";};

suddenly today it is ignored, I'm not sure which of the last few apt versions broke it. today's lilo update I'm forced to do by hand.
