 I don't think that this is a syntax error, have a look at the manpage for
 apt.conf(5):
 
All of the APT tools take a -o option which allows an arbitrary
configuration directive to be specified on the command line. The
syntax is a full option name (APT::Get::Assume-Yes for instance)
followed by an equals sign then the new value of the option. Lists
can be appended too by adding a trailing :: to the list name.

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 :)

Thanks for reopening the bug and clarifying this. The documentation wasn't
overly clear on that.

I've fixed it in git and I assume that the new maintainer will include as
part of his first upload.

Cheers,
Francois
