With b4450f1dd6bca537e60406b2383ab154a3e1485f we dropped what we
calculated here later on and now that we don't need it in the meantime
either we can just skip the busy work by default and expect dpkg to do
the right thing dropping also our little "last explicit configures"
removal trick introduced in b4450f1dd6bca537e60406b2383ab154a3e1485f.

This enables the last of a bunch of previously experimental options,
some of them existing still, but are very special and hence not really
worth documenting anymore (especially as it would need to be rewritten
now entirely) which is why the documentation is nearly completely
dropped.

The order of configuration stanzas in the simulation code changes
slightly as it isn't concerning itself with finding the 'right' order,
but any order is valid anyhow as long as the entire set happens in the
same call.

If the package is marked for removal, keep it marked for
removal and do not mark it for keep. If we mark it for keep,
we some how later get to a different stage where it is marked
for unpack instead of removal.

In the example in the bug report, we would get a:

 SmartUnPack maas-region-controller-min:amd64 (replace version 2.0.0~alpha3+bzr4810-0ubuntu1 with Segmentation fault

maas-region-controller-min:amd64 was marked for removal, but
we changed it to keep and somehow it thinks that this is to
be replaced now instead of removed (probably because the
InstallVer != CandidateVer [with InstallVer = 0]).

This fixes a regression introduced in release 1.2.7, commit:
  0390edd5452b081f8efcf412f96d535a1d959457
