Bug#811181: apt: Please document auth.conf

[Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>]

Package: apt
Version: 1.2
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

Some time ago I setup an authenticated https repo using auth.conf on
the client side, and recently I needed to replicate the setup on
another client, but had forgotten how to authenticate, and after
looking for a bit in the docs, could not remember what was the name
of the file nor the option. Once I got access to the server I
backtracked from there, and searched apt's git tree, and found only
the code references and one instance in the example config file.

It would be nice if the option, the file and its format could be
documented more prominently. :)

Thanks,
Guillem
