* apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc:
  - Store the trigger state descriptions in a way that does not break
    the ABI.  The approach taken makes the search for a string O(n) rather
    than O(lg(n)), but since n == 4, I do not consider this a major
    concern.  If it becomes a concern, we can sort the static array and
    use std::equal_range().  (Closes: #499322)
