 You can add extra Debian packages with lines like this in `.ddev/config.yaml`:
 
 ```yaml
-webimage_extra_packages: ["php${DDEV_PHP_VERSION}-tidy", "php${DDEV_PHP_VERSION}-yac"]
-dbimage_extra_packages: [telnet, netcat, sudo]
+webimage_extra_packages: ['php${DDEV_PHP_VERSION}-tidy', 'php${DDEV_PHP_VERSION}-yac']
+dbimage_extra_packages: [netcat, telnet, sudo]
 ```
 
 Then the additional packages will be built into the containers during [`ddev start`](../usage/commands.md#start).
