do not restore selections for already purged packages
In most cases apt was already skipping the (re)setting of packages as to be removed/purged if dpkg had told us that it already did, but we haven't dealt with it in the most obvious of the cases: Selections set for packages we touched in this operation which either restores selections even dpkg would have overridden or e.g. tries to restore a purge selection for a package which was just purged – does not happen with apt itself as it isn't using selections in this way, but higher frontends like aptitude do. The result in the later case is a warning printed by dpkg that we try to set selections for an unknown package, which is harmless per se, but can be confusing for users and we really shouldn't cause warnings in dpkg if we can help it.
