-Please note that this configuration could even be made conditional:
+Finally, if you want apt-listbugs to automatically pin all buggy packages
+and then let the unattended process upgrade the remaining packages,
+you can obtain this behavior by using the "force-pin" option "-F"
+(combined with the "no" option "-n", in order to make the process stop
+in presence of network errors and the like):
+
+    DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/apt-listbugs -nF apt";};
+
+Please note that you will have to configure the unattended upgrade
+process to attempt the upgrade twice in a row: the first attempt will
+pin all the buggy packages, if any; the second attempt will upgrade
+the remaining packages.
+
+Please also note that this configuration could even be made conditional:
 
     DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/apt-listbugs $APT_LISTBUGS_OPTS apt";};
 
 This way, apt-listbugs will avoid stopping the installation/upgrade
 process *only* if an APT_LISTBUGS_OPTS environment variable is set to "-y".
+Or it will automatically pin buggy packages, if an APT_LISTBUGS_OPTS
+environment variable is set to "-nF".
 Otherwise, if APT_LISTBUGS_OPTS is unset (or set to a zero-length
 string), apt-listbugs will behave as usual.
