Dear Maintainer, The current comment for Acquire::http::Dl-Limit in 50unattended-upgrades can mislead users into thinking it only limits unattended-upgrades. This patch clarifies that the limit applies system-wide to all APT operations. -- System Information: Debian Release: 13.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.12.85+deb13-amd64 (SMP w/22 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_WARN Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
