Package: apt
Version: 0.7.21
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

for ia32-apt-get it would be nice if some pinning could be added
automatically. Since policy forbids modifying other packages conffiles
this can not be done with /etc/apt/preferences.

Also, from a users perspective, it would be nice to put pinnings for
different repositories into seperate files,
e.g. /etc/apt/preferences.d/backports.

If you agree then I'm willing to work on a patch for it.

MfG	Goswin
