Hi Marc,

Thanks for the offer, but I think it will be unnecessary.

AFAICT (after figuring out what aide is), then the default rule for apt
should now cover apt-file's default setup as well.  At least it is
implemented based on apt's "apt-get indextargets".
  So the /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/31_aide_apt-file file is probably
redundant with apt-file 3.

Thanks,
~Niels
