To use it, either open a file named sources.list and it will be autoloaded, or add a local variables section to the end of your file to specify the mode to be "apt-sources". apt-utils.el provides an interface to APT.

It expects to see bug references in the form of (for example): "#48273", "closes: 238742" or similar.
