Only way I'd see apt-move's conffile going into /etc/apt/ is if it had some kind of packaging relationship to 'apt', perhaps that `enhances' relationship being banded about. Come to think of it, that's pretty much what it does. Perhaps 'apt-move' should declare an `enhances' on 'apt'. -- Ferret no baka
