[Aptitude-devel] Bug#946690: aptitude configuration always generates a full line even though I have put a single line in config

[shirish शिरीष]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.12-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
It seems aptitude config file makes 3 lines instead of 1 which all is
needed to make the aptitude easter egg work at the highest level. This
is the output in -

~/.aptitude/$ cat config
Aptitude "";
Aptitude::CmdLine "";
Aptitude::CmdLine::Verbose "5";

This is when I have repeatedly have deleted it twice already
using/following Axel's advice.
