Nested quotes are invalid here.  They are shell syntax and not
interpretted by APT.

The syntax for this option is in apt.conf(5).  Multiple options should
be passed using multiple "-o" arguments, for example:
# apt-get update \
    -o "DPkg::options::=--force-confdef" \
    -o "DPkg::options::=--path-exclude=/usr/share/doc/*"

 status invalid


** Changed in: aptitude (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
