Well

APT::Default-Release "unstable";
APT::AutoRemove::RecommendsImportant false;
APT::AutoRemove::SuggestsImportant false;
APT::Cache::AllVersions false;
APT::Clean-Installed false;
APT::Get::Fix-Missing true;
APT::Get::Purge true;
APT::Install-Recommends false;
APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages true;
APT::Periodic::Enable false;
Acquire::PDiffs true;
Acquire::http::No-Cache true;
Aptitude::CmdLine::Always-Prompt true;
Aptitude::CmdLine::Show-Deps true;
Aptitude::CmdLine::Show-Why true;
Aptitude::CmdLine::Verbose 1;
Aptitude::Purge-Unused true;
Binary::apt::APT::Keep-Downloaded-Packages true;

is all that is in my 10jidanni in directory /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ :
01autoremove	      05security  20apt-show-versions  70debconf
01autoremove-kernels  10jidanni   20listchanges

Well it already happened on two of my machines.
I still have one machine in town that I will make a note of doing
aptitude-create-state-bundle for you first, and waiting for your reply
until fixing... but it might be months before I go there.

As far a fdisk (which I use every few months), yes I(?) installed it 20
years ago so it was quite a surprise to see it suddenly on the chopping
block.
