Use standard error message formatting. Otherwise
# apt-config dump
E: Syntax error /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10jidanni:11: some problem...
Can't be parsed by important editors. Even validate(1) has

             (don't)  use  an output format intended for parsing by (X)Emacs,
             autodetected.
With standard error formatting, one can jump to the problem line in
one keystroke.
