dpkg stumbles over these (#844300) and we haven't dropped 'easier'
removes to be implicit and to be scheduled by dpkg by default so far
so we shouldn't push the decision in such cases to dpkg either.

Our old idea was to look for the first package which would be "touched"
and take this as the package dpkg is talking about, but that is
incorrect in complicated situations like a package upgraded to/from
multiple M-A:same siblings installed.
As we us the progress report to decide what is still needed we have to
be reasonabily right about the package dpkg is talking about, so we jump
to quite a few loops to get it.

The user has to approve the removal of a crossgraded package as it might
be needed to remove it (temporarily) in the process, but in most cases
we can happily avoid it and let dpkg unpack over it skipping the
remove. This has some effects on progress reporting and how deal with
selections through which makes this a tiny bit complicated.
