This does not effect apt-ftparchive calls which already have an order defined via a filelist (like generate) which will still print in the order given by the filelist. Note that a similar effect can be achieved by post-processing index files with apt-sortpkgs. Closes: 869557 Thanks: Chris Lamb for initial patch & Stefan Lippers-Hollmann for testing
