If other logs can't be written this is a warning to,
so for consistency sake translate the errors to warnings.

Unlikely to happen in practice and I wonder more how I could miss these
in earlier reviews, but okay, lets fix it for consistency now.

<title>use +0000 instead of UTC by default as timezone in output</title>

All apt versions support numeric as well as 3-character timezones just
fine and its actually hard to write code which doesn't "accidently"
accepts it. So why change? Documenting the Date/Valid-Until fields in
the Release file is easy to do in terms of referencing the
datetime format used e.g. in the Debian changelogs (policy §4.4). This
format specifies only the numeric timezones through, not the nowadays
obsolete 3-character ones, so in the interest of least surprise we should
use the same format even through it carries a small risk of regression
in other clients (which encounter repositories created with
apt-ftparchive).

In case it is really regressing in practice, the hidden option
  -o APT::FTPArchive::Release::NumericTimezone=0
can be used to go back to good old UTC as timezone.

The EDSP and EIPP protocols use this 'new' format, the text interface
used to communicate with the acquire methods does not for compatibility
reasons even if none of our methods would be effected and I doubt any
other would (in these instances the timezone is 'GMT' as that is what
HTTP/1.1 requires). Note that this is only true for apt talking to
methods, (libapt-based) methods talking to apt will respond with the
'new' format.  It is therefore strongly adviced to support both also in
method input.

<title>eipp: let apt make a plan, not make stuff plane</title>

Julian noticed on IRC that I fall victim to a lovely false friend by
calling referring to a 'planer' all the time even through these are
machines to e.g. remove splinters from woodwork ("make stuff plane").
The term I meant is written in german in this way (= with a single n)
but in english there are two, aka: 'planner'.

As that is unreleased code switching all instances without any
transitional provisions. Also the reason why its skipped in changelog.

In 385d9f2f23057bc5808b5e013e77ba16d1c94da4 I implemented the storage of
scenario files based on enabling this by default for EIPP, but I
implemented it first optionally for EDSP to have it independent.

The reasons mentioned in the earlier commit (debugging and bugreports)
obviously apply here, especially as EIPP solutions aren't user approved,
nearly impossible to verify before starting the execution and at the
time of error the scenario has changed already, so that reproducing the
issue becomes hard(er).

Freeing 'Install' for future use as an interface for "dpkg --install",
which is currently not used by any existent planer, so the
implementation of it itself will be delayed until then.

A rather special need option, but the internal planer supports this and
we have a testcase for it &amp; sometimes it is hit (as a bug through). The
option itself mostly serves as a reminder for implementors that they
should be careful with removes and especially temporary removes if they
perform any.

<content type='text'>
APT has 3 modes: no immediate configuration, all packages are configured
immediately and its default mode of configuring essentials and
pseudo-essentials immediately only. While this seems like a job of
different planers at first, it might be handy to have it as an option,
too, in case a planer (like apts internal one) supports different modes
where the introduction of individual planers would be counter intuitive.

<content type='text'>
For the order there is no inherent difference between delete or purge,
so we don't tell the planer about this and instead decide in apt if a
package should be purged or not which also allows us to not tell the
planer about rc-only purges as we can trivially do this on our on as
there is no need to plan such purges.
