A frontend like apt-file is only interested in a specific set of files
and selects those easily via "Created-By". If it supports two locations
for those files through it would need to select both and a user would
need to know that implementation detail for sources.list configuration.
The "Identifier" field is hence introduced which by default has the same
value as "Created-By", but can be freely configured – especially it can
be used to give two indexes the same identifier.

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.

Some people type them instead of autoremove and autoclean, so make
them happy.

This enables more fine grained control over such exceptions.

'files' is a bit too generic as a name for a command usually only used
programmatically (if at all) by developers, so instead of "wasting" this
generic name for this we use "indextargets" which is actually the name
of the datastructure the displayed data is stored in.
Along with this rename the config options are renamed accordingly.
|
|
These options could be set via configuration before, but the connection
to the actual sources is so strong that they should really be set in the
sources.list instead – especially as this can be done a lot more
specific rather than e.g. disabling Valid-Until for all sources at once.
Valid-Until-* names are chosen instead of the Min/Max-ValidTime as this
seems like a better name and their use in the wild is probably low
enough that this isn't going to confuse anyone if we have to names for
the same thing in different areas.
In the longrun, the config options should be removed, but for now
documentation hinting at the new options is good enough as these are the
kind of options you set once across many systems with different apt
versions, so the new way should work everywhere first before we
deprecate the old way.

Provided is a specialized acquire item which given a version can figure
out the correct URI to try by itself and if not provides an error
message alongside with static methods to get just the URI it would try
to download if it should just be displayed or similar such.
The URI is constructed as follows:
Release files can provide an URI template in the "Changelogs" field,
otherwise we lookup a configuration item based on the "Label" or
"Origin" of the Release file to get a (hopefully known) default value
for now. This template should contain the string CHANGEPATH which is
replaced with the information about the version we want the changelog
for (e.g. main/a/apt/apt_1.1). This middleway was choosen as this path
part was consistent over the three known implementations (+1 defunct),
while the rest of the URI varies widely between them.
The benefit of this construct is that it is now easy to get changelogs
for Debian packages on Ubuntu and vice versa – even at the moment where
the Changelogs field is present nowhere. Strictly better than what
apt-get had before as it would even fail to get changelogs from
security… Now it will notice that security identifies as Origin: Debian
and pick this setting (assuming again that no Changelogs field exists).
If on the other hand security would ship its changelogs in a different
location we could set it via the Label option overruling Origin.

Downloading additional files is only half the job. We still need a way
to allow external tools to know where the files are they requested for
download given that we don't want them to choose their own location.
'apt-get files' is our answer to this showing by default in a deb822
format information about each IndexTarget with the potential to filter
the records based on lines and an option to change the output format.
The command serves also as an example on how to get to this information
via libapt.

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.

Inspired by the rest of the patch in 661537, but abstract the
parsing of various ways of setting the build profiles more so it can
potentially be reused and all apt parts have the same behaviour.
Especially config options, cmdline options and environment will not be
combined as proposed as this isn't APTs usual behaviour and dpkg doesn't
do it either, so one overrides the other as it normally does.

The current description says:
"Many users find dselect intimidating and new users may prefer to use
apt-based user interfaces."
It doesn't feel right to refer users to it then.

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.
