As we ship some tools in apt-utils which depend on our private library
we have to ensure that apt-utils depends on a proper apt version.
An exact version is probably a bit much, but the simplest way out.

The relevant testcases are in test/integration/test-apt-get-source.
There is a test for #731853 that is supposed to "ensure that apt will
pick the higher version number" of 0.0.1 (stable) and 0.1 (stable).
However, this works by pure chance, as simply reversing the order
of the two insertsource lines makes the test fail.
So #731853 isn't really fixed, yet.
Actually, that's related to the problem I reported, as the underlying
issue for both is the same:
In the FindSrc function apt chooses a new 'best hit', if either
* there is a target release and it matches the release of the package,
* or the version of the package is higher than the last best hit.
Consider having 1.0 (stable), 2.0 (unstable) and 1.5 (unstable),
in this order.
Looking for the version in stable, apt first selects 1.0, because the
release matches the target release, but then subsequently selects 2.0,
because the version is higher.
Looking for the version in unstable, apt first selects 2.0, because the
release matches the target release, but then subsequently selects 1.5,
because the release also matches the target release.
The correct way would be to choose a new 'best hit', if either
* there is a target release and it matches the release of the package,
* or there is no target release
and the version is higher than the last best hit.

Passing function pointers around while working on this was very icky,
but if weak symbols are too much to ask for…
Reverts "do not use "-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions" during the build to avoid

This reverts commit 28f24d3dad1844af316337d565ba2ebc11c8ce97.
This fails on Ubuntu as they build with -Bsymbolic-functions.

ssh expects various configuration bits to be usable like known hosts,
possibly keys and co. Setting this up needs some user work for probably
not a whole lot of benefits, so instead of forcing it upon users on
upgrade disable dropping for it by default.

Dropping privileges is an involved process for code and system alike so
ideally we want to verify that all the work wasn't in vain. Stuff
designed to sidestep the usual privilege checks like fakeroot (and its
many alternatives) have their problem with this through, partly through
missing wrapping (#806521), partly as e.g. regaining root from an
unprivileged user is in their design. This commit therefore disables
most of these checks by default so that apt runs fine again in a
fakeroot environment.
Closes: 806475

This also deals with the unlikely case of groups being mentioned
multiple times or if the effective group isn't mentioned at all.
In practice, it is a debugging aid through like for #806475.

debci seems to have a cleaner environment now and even if not we could
never guess nogroup, so figure it out properly via 'id'.

Seems like a simpler workaround than forcing a lower optimization
level just for this for all of apt.

If it does not exist disabled priv dropping as there is nothing
we can drop to. This will unblock people with special chroots
or systems that deleted the "_apt" user.

This fixes a regression caussed by commit
95278287f4e1eeaf5d96749d6fc9bfc53fb400d0
that moved the error detection of RunFds() later into the loop.
However this broke detecting issues like dead acquire methods.
Instead of relying on the global error state (which is bad)
we now pass a boolean value back from RunFds() and break on
false.
Closes: #806406

Unfortunately it seems like git-buildpackage does not have a
pre-export hook so the hook is disabled for now.

Never updating this information is wrong, updating it automatically
isn't super correct either, but it seems conventional to have it and
updating it more often than needed seems better than updating it never.

In 12f7536 I chose to opt for a slightly better text which avoids
assigning copyright to the FSF (not because it would be wrong to do it,
but is usually not what the contributor intended, but just the default.
xgettext has a --foreign flag for avoiding the copyright, but po4a
hasn't and an empty copyright-holder doesn't work either, so this little
rework of files with sed and cat.

We do not show the architecture as a dedicated field as this is rather
technical information, but as packagename it makes sense to show the
architecture as other part of apt will refer to it in this way.

In 8d041b4f we made apt figure out based on the last Release file it has
if it should request a file or not given that the hashes changed or not.
So if we have a last Release file and do a request, do not sent a
Last-Modified header as we expect a change so much that a non-change
would indeed be an error. The Last-Modified header is therefore at best
ignored by the server, so sending it is just wasted effort. In the worst
case as time is a fragile thing the server decides against sending us an
update with the idea that we already have the latest content, which we
know for a fact that we haven't. Given that we sent less information to
the server our request is on its own also less identifiable as coming
from a returning or new user.
The disadvantage is that if we end up getting an old index file after
getting a new Release file from another mirror the old mirror will not
be able to tell us 'Hit', but instead sends us the complete file we
discard, but both lets us end up with the same error class in the end,
so the difference isn't big in practice.
