Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.11-1~lenny1
Severity: wishlist

On starting aptitude, ~/.aptitude/config is rewritten. As I keep my home
directory under version control, this means it shows up as modified,
even though all that has changed is the order/layout of the options in
the file.

Would it be possible for aptitude to rewrite the config only when
options have been changed?
