+How to (temporarily) disable apt-listbugs
+=========================================
+
+Sometimes you may need to disable the invocation of apt-listbugs, so
+that you can run apt, or another similar package manager, without
+also running apt-listbugs. Hopefully, this will happen very infrequently
+and you will immediately want to re-enable apt-listbugs...  ;-)
+
+In order to temporarily disable the invocation of apt-listbugs by apt,
+there's no need to remove the package: it is enough to edit
+/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs and turn the following line
+
+    DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt";};
+
+into a comment (by prepending the "//" comment symbol).
+
+Or alternatively, you may just move the file out of the way:
+
+  # mv /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs /root/
+
+When you want to re-enable the invocation of apt-listbugs, drop the
+comment symbol from the line, or move the file back to its original
+location:
+
+  # mv /root/10apt-listbugs /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/
+
+
