I think the error message sums up why Debian has apt's default configuration 
set to be this way, and a manpage to view with further information, even 
showing which of apt's configuration settings controls this, so there is no 
actual bug in Debain's system, as you are still able to upgrade your packages 
despite this error message, right?
