Use standard error message formatting. Otherwise
  # apt-config dump
  E: Syntax error /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10jidanni:11: some problem...
Can't be parsed by important editors. Even validate(1) has
       --[no]emacs
              (don't)  use  an output format intended for parsing by (X)Emacs,
              autodetected.
With standard error formatting, one can jump to the problem line in
one keystroke.
