Bug#513250: Annotate pins with their filename and location.
Package: libapt-pkg-dev
Version: 0.7.20.1
Severity: wishlist
For diagnostic purposes, it would be nice to be able to tell the user
why a package has a particular pin priority. Part of that is being able
to trace pins back to their physical location in the preferences file.
As a first step, it would be helpful if the Pin data structure stored
the filename and (first) line number of the pin.
