apt-conf.d

In the directory i find lots of files.
Where do they come from?
I do know that norecommends was there for quite a while.

And what about the content of 01autoremove
Never-MarkAuto-Sections
{
"metapackages";
"restricted/metapackages";
"universe/metapackages";
"multiverse/metapackages";
"oldlibs";
"restricted/oldlibs";
"universe/oldlibs";
"multiverse/oldlibs";
};
};
~

universe? multiverse?

Things how i ran into this:
Trying to upgrade to Sid i ran into 2 problems:
apt-get dist-upgrade
was catched in a loop trying to keep a library which was needed for audacious, gimp, mplayer2, etc.
I finally picked aptitude full-upgrade which completed the dist-upgrade (though pretty much anything X-related seem to be gone ... :-) ).

After rebooting no new kernel is installed.

Most of those files come from debian. (Yeah, even the ubuntu stuff.) I added 00nosystemd and 00defaultrelease and norecoemmends. (Some are in preferences.d)
It's normal for the kernel not to upgrade along with the rest. I usually install the newer kernel after the first reboot, but I think it's ok to install it before rebooting.
