[Android-tools-devel] Bug#860733: android-permissions: enable apt updates by default

Package: android-permissions
Severity: wishlist

Please apply this tweak by default:

== APT privilege dropping on Android ==

The program apt-get (and all the other APT programs) drops privileges
when doing network requests, thus fails because it does not have the
inet group. One workaround is to add the user _apt to the group inet
(3003) and also set it as the primary group for user _apt (because
APT deliberately relinquishes all groups except the primary one).
