Bug Description

When performing an upgrade with 'do-release-upgrade', some settings in '/etc/apt.conf' and '/etc/apt.conf.d/' are not honored. At the end of the upgrade process, 'do-release-upgrade' offers to autoremove automatically installed packages, that are no longer needed. However, although I have 'APT::Get::Purge "true";' set in 'apt.conf', 'do-release-upgrade' doesn't purge the packages, but only removes them.

This happens on the upgrade from Maverick to Natty and also all previous upgrades.
