Locale: LANG=de_DE.ISO8859-15, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.ISO8859-15

Problem description:
When some lines (typically, comments) in /etc/apt/sources.list have more
than 299 columns, then apt-get will go into an endless loop (on
"apt-get update" and "apt-get install" etc. alike), apparently
within a C++ class trying to read the sources.list lines. Reducing the
longest line to 299 columns helps immediately.
