+      The <literal>Ignore-Files-Silently</literal> list can be used to specify
+      which files APT should silently ignore while parsing the files in the
+      fragment directories. Per default a file which end with <literal>.disabled</literal>,
+      <literal>~</literal>, <literal>.bak</literal> or <literal>.dpkg-[a-z]+</literal>
+      is silently ignored. As seen in the last default value these patterns can use regular
