That's right, but it is referring to either trailing :: or {} (which gives
implicit ::), in other words:
$ cat 90debsums
DPkg::Post-Invoke:: { "if [ -x /usr/bin/debsums ]; then /usr/bin/debsums
--generate=nocheck -sp /var/cache/apt/archives; fi"; };
$ apt-config dump | grep -i debsums
DPkg::Post-Invoke:::: "if [ -x /usr/bin/debsums ]; then /usr/bin/debsums
--generate=nocheck -sp /var/cache/apt/archives; fi";
notice the ::::
if you either remove {} or :: it correctly lists a single ::
$ cat 90debsums
DPkg::Post-Invoke { "if [ -x /usr/bin/debsums ]; then /usr/bin/debsums
--generate=nocheck -sp /var/cache/apt/archives; fi"; };
$ apt-config dump | grep -i debsums
DPkg::Post-Invoke:: "if [ -x /usr/bin/debsums ]; then /usr/bin/debsums
--generate=nocheck -sp /var/cache/apt/archives; fi";
$ cat 90debsums
DPkg::Post-Invoke:: "if [ -x /usr/bin/debsums ]; then /usr/bin/debsums
--generate=nocheck -sp /var/cache/apt/archives; fi";
go...@clamp:/etc/apt/apt.conf.d$ apt-config dump | grep -i debsums
DPkg::Post-Invoke:: "if [ -x /usr/bin/debsums ]; then /usr/bin/debsums
--generate=nocheck -sp /var/cache/apt/archives; fi";
whether the apt parser doesn't barf on this is another matter :)
