    Unfortunately apt configuration is not straightforward at all
regarding being overridden: one can't just provide sources.list
but needs a corresponding apt.conf along with it, and that apt.conf
must disable the SysV-style snippet directories to avoid interesting
side effects of all the things getting overlaid.

So it's not surprising that torabora has asked for an example...
(thanks go to boyarsh@ since I asked him for an example long ago)
