Package: apt-utils
Version: 0.6.40.1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
when I first found apt-ftparchive and it's generate command I hade a
quite hard time to figure out how the conf-file needs to look like so
that it works. Now this would have been much easier if there were an
example, so I took my apt-ftparchive.conf polished it a bit (included
the contrib section) and wrote this bugreport. The config is attached
and I hope it will make it into one of the next releases.
