That's not the recommended combination currently, man apt.conf gives:

PackageManager::Configure "smart";

I actually had the "smart" option on my system, and so I also added it to my vm test install, and that is when I ran into errors during the upgrade. When I tried again without the "smart" option, I did not get errors.
I also like that the options tell APT to rely on dpkg to configure stuff in the correct order instead of doing it itself and getting it wrong in some cases... cf the numerous bug reports here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/541595
What option is that? This package XXX is already installed and configured error is one of the problems I saw.
