Package: apt
Version: 0.8.15.5
Severity: wishlist
One thought one could comment out
//APT::Default-Release "experimental"; //instead just list it first in sources.list
but in fact the "cards are still stacked" against experimental.
There is some behinds the scenes _undocumented built in prejudice_
against it.
apt-config dump doesn't show it.
man apt_preferences says a tiny bit
priority 1
to the versions coming from archives which in their Release files
are marked as "NotAutomatic: yes" but not as "ButAutomaticUpgrades:
yes" like the debian experimental archive.
probably unrelated.

It explicitly states that it applies to experimental. If
you can't read, that's your problem, don't annoy us with
it.
