Package: apt

Severity: important
During an upgrade, a package may leave a .dpkg-dist or .dpkg-old
file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d. APT does not handle these files
specially (according to the source code), and thus can potentially
cause breakage if an old file is present.
Please consider using `run-parts --list` instead of the custom
parsing of the directory listing.

Please consider actually checking whether there is a bug before filing a bug
report. To do otherwise is disrespectful and wasteful of the maintainer's
time.

APT's dependencies on external programs need to be minimized for obvious
reasons.
