* apt-pkg/contrib/fileutl.cc:

  - Fix the newly introduced method GetListOfFilesInDir to not

  - accept also partfiles with "pref" file extension as valid
* apt-pkg/contrib/configuration.cc:
  - accept also partfiles with "conf" file extension as valid
* doc/apt.conf.5.xml:
  - reorder description and split out syntax
  - add partfile name convention (Closes: #558348)
* doc/apt_preferences.conf.5.xml:
  - describe partfile name convention also here
* apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc:
  - don't segfault if term.log file can't be opened.
    Thanks Sam Brightman for the patch! (Closes: #475770)

  - replace the per language addendum with a global addendum
