+ can have the value "yes", "no" or "force" and controls if APT
+ should try to acquire indexes via an URI constructed from a
+ hashsum of the expected file instead of using the well-known
+ stable filename of the index. Using this can avoid hashsum
+ mismatches, but requires a supporting mirror. The value
+ "yes"/"no" activates/disables the use of this feature if this
+ source indicates support for it, while "force" will enable the
+ feature regardless of what the source indicates.
+ Defaults to the value of the option of the same name for a
+ specific index file defined in the
+ <option>Acquire::IndexTargets</option> scope, which itself
+ defaults to the value of configuration option
+ <option>Acquire::By-Hash</option> which defaults to
+ <literal>yes</literal>.
