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.

Yeah, this is ugly, but is documented, as mentioned earlier, in apt.conf manpage.
Closing this bug.
