Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: normal
apt.conf(5) doesn't even mention APT::Default-Release. It is not in the
example apt.conf either. This is one of the more common things people
will want to configure in apt, and it should be better documented.

It is in the apt-get man page with the rest of those tool specific
configuration options.=20
--default-release
This option controls the default input to the pol=AD
icy engine, it creates a default pin at priority
990 using the specified release string. The prefer=AD
ences file may further override this setting. In
short, this option lets you have simple control
over which distribution packages will be retrieved
from. Some common examples might be -t '2.1*' or -t
unstable. Configuration Item: APT::Default-Release
