libapt allows to configure compressors to be used by its system via
configuration implemented in 03bef78461c6f443187b60799402624326843396,
but that was never really documented and also only partly working, which
also explains why the tests weren't using it…

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.

Based on a discussion with Niels Thykier who asked for Contents-all this
implements apt trying for all architecture dependent files to get a file
for the architecture all, which is treated internally now as an official
architecture which is always around (like native). This way arch:all
data can be shared instead of duplicated for each architecture requiring
the user to download the same information again and again.
There is one problem however: In Debian there is already a binary-all/
Packages file, but the binary-any files still include arch:all packages,
so that downloading this file now would be a waste of time, bandwidth
and diskspace. We therefore need a way to decide if it makes sense to
download the all file for Packages in Debian or not. The obvious answer
would be a special flag in the Release file indicating this, which would
need to default to 'no' and every reasonable repository would override
it to 'yes' in a few years time, but the flag would be there "forever".
Looking closer at a Release file we see the field "Architectures", which
doesn't include 'all' at the moment. With the idea outlined above that
'all' is a "proper" architecture now, we interpret this field as being
authoritative in declaring which architectures are supported by this
repository. If it says 'all', apt will try to get all, if not it will be
skipped. This gives us another interesting feature: If I configure a
source to download armel and mips, but it declares it supports only
armel apt will now print a notice saying as much. Previously this was a
very cryptic failure. If on the other hand the repository supports mips,
too, but for some reason doesn't ship mips packages at the moment, this
'missing' file is silently ignored (= that is the same as the repository
including an empty file).
The Architectures field isn't mandatory through, so if it isn't there,
we assume that every architecture is supported by this repository, which
skips the arch:all if not listed in the release file.

Not all are needed for all files at the moment, but the new docbook
building hadn't available some of the entities it used as the files
weren't correctly copied around in all cases and having the same across
the bord makes working with all of them a little easier.

manpages sometimes refer to distro-specific things like the name of the
package providing the achive-keyring. Having a central place to
configure this helps in having it consistent in the manpages and allows
to load this info from other places in the buildsystem as well later.

- default to putting the Contents-* files below $(SECTION) as apt-file
expects them there - thanks Martin-Éric Racine! (Closes: #675827)

as untranslated for po4a removing ~200 unless "translateable" strings
|
|
- move the command synopsis out of each manpage into apt-verbatim.ent
as they are a hell to translate and just single out the parameters
which can be translated to apt.ent
|

|
|
- add config option to search for more patterns in release command
|
|
- move some strings into apt-verbatim.ent to avoid showing them in
apt-doc.pot as they are untranslatable anyway (e.g. manpage references)
|
|
- add ValidTime option to generate a Valid-Until header in Release file
|
|
- add entities for the current oldstable/stable/testing codenames
* doc/sources.list.5.xml:
- use stable-codename instead of stable in the examples (Closes: #531492)
* doc/apt_preferences.5.xml:
- adapt some examples here to use current codenames as well

replaced without a reason which could save us from steady redownloads
of a file with the same content.

also in TreeDefaults and Tree to support generation of archives which
should support and which shouldn't support splitted out Translation-en
files in the same run.

- if an arch is given accept only *_all.deb and *_arch.deb instead
of *.deb. Thanks Stephan Bosch for the patch! (Closes: #319710)
