Bug#176746: apt: add note about how not to blow away your cdrom lists to apt-cdrom man page



Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: minor
File: /usr/share/man/man8/apt-cdrom.8.gz

the apt-cdrom man page needs to alert the user to this note from the
apt-get man page,

       --list-cleanup
              This  option  defaults  to  on, use --no-list-cleanup to turn it
              off. When on apt-get will automatically manage the  contents  of
              /var/lib/apt/lists  to  ensure  that  obsolete files are erased.
              The only reason to turn it off is if you frequently change  your
              source list.  Configuration Item: APT::Get::List-Cleanup.

and how to apply it to apt-cdrom,
that way we wouldn't blow away or painstakingly accumulated cdrom
records every time we tinker in sources.list commenting stuff out for
a moment.
