       AptFs  is  a FUSE-based filesystem that provides a view to unpacked Debian source packages obtained using
       apt-getsource as regular folders.  Binary packages are modelled as  symbolic  links  pointing  to  their
       respective source package.

       AptFs  maintains a sliding window of unpacked sources packages - it would not be very helpful if commands
       such as:

        % find /path/to/aptfs

       unpacked the entire APT archive into the temporary directory. To specify the number of packages  to  keep
       unpacked at one time, use the -omax_unpacked_packages=NUM option.

       By  default, AptFs does not verify GPG signatures of source packages. This is because the large number of
       calls to GnuPG cause deadlocking in both AptFs and other programs using GnuPG. GPG verification  is  also
       slow.

       One can re-enable verification using passing -osecure=1 when mounting AptFs.
