<content type='text'>
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.

<title>do not override exact targetrelease matches with lesser matches</title>

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
breakage" aka a5fc9be36211a290a7abc3ca2a8bf98943bc1f57.
