+Use of apt-listbugs in unattended installations/upgrades
+========================================================
+
+As previously mentioned, 'apt-listbugs' requires a console for user
+interaction. This could make coexistence with unattended package
+installations/upgrades (e.g.: see the 'cron-apt' package) a little harder.
+
+With its default configuration, 'apt-listbugs' will stop any
+automatic installation or upgrade, whenever the packages to be
+installed or upgraded are affected by RC bugs.
+
+If this is the desired behavior, no special action is needed: you may
+safely skip the rest of this section.
+
+On the other hand, if you want 'apt-listbugs' to merely show bugs,
+without stopping the installation/upgrade process, you can obtain this
+behavior, by editing /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs to add the yes
+option '-y': the following line
+
+    DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt || exit 10";};
+
+should become
+
+    DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/apt-listbugs -y apt || exit 10";};
+
+Please note that this configuration could even be made conditional:
+
+    DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/apt-listbugs $APT_LISTBUGS_OPTS apt || exit 10";};
+
+This way, 'apt-listbugs' will avoid stopping the installation/upgrade
+process *only* if an APT_LISTBUGS_OPTS environment variable is set to "-y".
+Otherwise, if APT_LISTBUGS_OPTS is unset (or set to a zero-length
+string), 'apt-listbugs' will behave as usual.
+
+However, such a conditional configuration is probably a bit risky,
+since *anything* could be included (even by mistake) in the
+APT_LISTBUGS_OPTS environment variable.
