Package: apt Version: 1.4.7 Severity: minor Hi,
>From examining the source, the output of apt-cache policy, and various online sources, it looks like a=now is able to match currently-installed packages. This seems to have been the case for some time now. If this is a stable feature indeed, can we document it in apt_preferences(5)? AFAICT it's not documented anywhere.
