Two easy ones today: apt-key.8.xml and apt-mark.8.xml.
Apt-key:
[...]
> <varlistentry><term><option>net-update</option></term>
> <listitem>

> Work similar to the <command>update</command> command above, but get the

(s/similar/similarly/, s/an URI/a URI/)
Uninflected "work" may be parallel to "add" and "output" and so on,
but it doesn't quite make sense. The meaning of the "add" command is
"add a new key, please", but you're not ordering net-update to "work
like the update command!" - the best I can come up with is:
Perform an update working similarly to the <command>update</command> command above,
but get the archive keyring from a URI instead and validate it against a master key.
> This requires an installed &wget; and an APT build configured to have

>

The "relies" is a positive verb, and ruins the contrast of "but
Ubuntu's APT does"; say
APT in Debian does not support this command, relying on
<command>update</command> instead, but Ubuntu's APT does.

Just to make it slightly less repetitive, "specify a particular
keyring".
And apt-mark:

Ooh, new in Wheezy, thanks.
