Package: apt
Version: 0.6.43.3
Apt wins the hiddeous syntax award for the day:
apt-get -oDPkg::Options::=--force-overwrite install {debianutils,passwd}/stable
It doesn't work without the second pair of double-colons, which I
don't understand, haven't seen used anywhere else, thus undocumented,
is unintuitive, and well, ugly.
