In #737085 we see that apt can be confused if informations about
versions only differ slightly. This commit adds a way of at least adding
a few more data points with the next abi break to help a bit with it.
As we deal with regex matchers here the dots are treated as wildcards if
we don't take care of escaping them. Not very likely that this could be
a real-world problem, but just to be sure.
add ".*-{kernel,modules}-$KERVER" matcher for hook
Pre-build kernel modules (like those build with module-assistent) are
commonly named in this way and it should be ungeneric enough to be added
by default for everyone.
kfreebsd as well as hurd kernel packages call the postinst script as
well so we just need to enable the correct parsing for installed
packages and disable the "protect every version" hammer for them.
use a configurable list of versioned kernel packages
With APT::VersionedKernelPackages users have the option of adding
packages like pre-build out-of-tree modules to the list of automatically
protected from being autoremoved.

fix polish --install-suggests text in apt-get manpage
Description of the --install-suggests option is wrong in the polish
apt-get man page. The actual meaning of this option is the opposite
to what is written in the manual.
support very long mtab entries in mountpoint discovery
Old code limited lines to 250 characters which is probably enough for
everybody, but who knows… It also takes care of device nodes which start
with the same prefix.
remove code duplication for Add & Ident in apt-cdrom
The preparation code to deal with auto-detection and co is the same for
both methods, so not sharing them would be bad. Deals also with the
prevention of side effects triggered by the auto-detection like
disabling mounting for the fallback.
Commit 62dcbf84 changed the code of ident to look more like the code for
add on my suggestion. This made ident interactive as it starts with a
unmount, press enter, mount cycle. The first two are skipped now.
This fixes d-i/apt-setup which is using it to get ID as well as label.
no error for non-existing mountpoints in MountCdrom
The mountpoint might be auto-generated by the mount command so pushing
an error on the stack will confuse the following code and let it believe
an unrecoverable error occured while potentially everything is okay.
Same goes for umount as a non-existing mountpoint is by definition not
mounted.
if mountpoint has a ".disk" directory it is mounted
Checking that parent-directory of mountpoint and mountpoint are on
different devices is fine most of the time, but is too restrictive
for our testcases and there shouldn't be anything wrong with 'normal'
users copying disk-contents around either if they want to.
We check for the existance of the ".disk/" directory now as this will
not be present if the disk isn't 'mounted'. Disks doesn't need to have
such a directory through, so for those we fall back to the old way of
detecting mounted or not mounted.
do not configure already unpacked packages needlessly
The unpack of a M-A:same package will force the unpack of all its
siblings directly to prevent that they could be separated by later
immediate actions. In commit 634985f8 a call to SmartConfigure was
introduced to configure these packages at the time the installation
order encounters them. Usually, the unpack order is already okay, so
that this 'earlier' unpack was not needed and if it wouldn't have been
done, the package would now only be unpacked, but by configuring the package
now we impose new requirements which must be satisfied. The code is
clever enough to handle this most of the time (it worked for 2 years!),
but it isn't needed and in very coupled cases this can fail.
Removing this call again removes this extra burden and so simplifies the
ordering as can be seen in the modified tests. Famous last words, but I
don't see a reason for this extra burden to exist hence the remove.
use SPtrArray handling instead of explicit delete[]
The warning message from gcc doesn't make that much sense in my reading
as there is no loop which could overflow here, but it is better to use
our SPtrArray wrapping anyway which fixes the warning as well.
warning: cannot optimize loop, the loop counter may overflow [-Wunsafe-loop-optimizations]

support DEB_BUILD_PROFILES and -P for build profiles
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.

add default and override handling for Cnf::FindVector
Automatically handle the override of list options via its parent value
which can even be a comma-separated list of values. It also adds an easy
way of providing a default for the list.
It can be useful to have a whole makefile available for vendor setup,
but by providing a basic one we can deal with the simple cases more
easily (and changes to the system are presumably easier).
Prevents that "old" dependencies have an influence in the scoring.
With positive dependencies this is usually not a problem, but negative
dependencies can linger around for a long time.
propagate a negative score point along breaks/conflicts
versioned -dev packages like db and boost have the problem of no
dependencies which would give them a competitive advantage against an
older incarnation of the -dev package, so they tend to be kept back
until the old version is removed from the archive, which, if the user
has older releases in its sources can take a long time (or never happens).
The newer version has a conflicts/breaks against the older one, but the
older one hasn't against the newer, so by giving via the conflicts the
older one a reduced score the newer one can win if there is no other
reason to keep it. If both have a conflict against each other the
scoring will cancel itself out, so no harm done.
This gives "action" a slightly bigger edge in breaks/conflicts cases
than before, but holding back isn't a really good solution anyway.

disable fnmatch()
The current PackageContainerInterface::FromString() will do a
FromFnmatch() first and then FromRegEx(). This commit reverts
that change to restore the old behavior to only look for RegEx
and not glob-style pattern. The rational is that:
a) currently a fnmatch() is misleadingly reported as a regex match to
the user (Bug#738880)
b) a fnmatch may match something different than a a RegEx so the
change broke a published interface
Commit 6008b79adf1d7ea5607fab87a355d664c8725026 should have been guarded
by "Git-Dch: Ignore", but it wasn't and I only noticed it with the Close
message via deity thinking "hehe, I wonder if someone is gonna notice".
Looks like someone did: hats off to reddit user itisOmegakai!
Good to know that what I do isn't only monitored by goverments. :)
As there is another instance of basically the same code we just factor
out the code a bit and reuse, so its even cleaner and not only simpler.
do not compress .xhtml files and remove junk files
dh_compress compresses .xhtml files by default, which breaks our doxygen
documentation. doxygen has also a bunch of temporary files it creates
which stay in the build directory and so we remove them before
installing them as documentation.
switch protocols at random is a bad idea if e.g. http can switch to
file, so we limit the possibilities to http to http and http to https.
As very few people (less than 1% according to popcon) have https
installed this likely changes nothing in terms of failure. The commit is
adding a friendly hint which package needs to be installed though.
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.
