Public bug reported: I was trying to pass "--force-overwrite" to dpkg when using aptitude, but I could not find a way to do so in Aptitude's documentation (package: aptitude-doc-en). However, it is doable using configuration option Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" as reported here http://askubuntu.com/a/104912/311909. Hence, option "Dpkg::Options" should be documented in Aptitude's documentation.
