The subject and body of your message seem to disagree...I agree that a
sample 'preferences' should be included, but not that it should be installed
by default.  That is, a /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/preferences should be
supplied, not an /etc/apt/preferences.  The latter should be missing or
empty by default.

I thought there was an example preferences file already, but I guess there
are only the examples in the man page.
