Package: apt-listbugs
Version: 0.1.2
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

A few days ago after an dist-upgrade, apt-get stopped working.
I put critical on this as it breaks apt. Please reclassify if I misunderstood 
this.

Example outputs:
apt-get install apt-listbugs
.

dpkg --search etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs.disabled 
dpkg: /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs.disabled not found.

cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs.disabled 
// Check all packages whether they has critical bugs before they are installed.
// If you don't like it, comment it out.
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt || exit 10"};
DPkg::Tools::Options::/usr/sbin/apt-listbugs "";
DPkg::Tools::Options::/usr/sbin/apt-listbugs::Version "2";

Note: I don't know if the .disabled extension was added by me or from some 
configuration script. On another
computer containing the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs instead, 
exactly the same problem occured. 

Linking /bin/true to /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs fixed the problem. A better fix 
would be for the command
in 10apt-listbugs to first check if the /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs exists before 
trying to run it.
