<content type='text'>
Dependencies shared by all versions are enqueued at the package
level, so avoid enqueuing duplicates at the version level. This
presumably has no meaningful impact on performance, potentially
a negative performance impact on some workloads as we now need
to find the duplicates again; it can become useful when there
is a lot of backtracking.

More importantly though this improves error messages, because
now we can say that "all versions of foo depend on X", rather
than saying "foo=1 depends on X" and you are left wondering
why we did not select "foo=2".

In this commit though, improved error messages are not implemented,
they depend on redesigning the reason tracking to use clauses.

Also the rationale tracking includes a lot more dependencies of
the form "pkg:arch=version -&gt; pkg:arch" which are annoying. Improved
error messages should fold them into one node.

Fix the test cases we can fix directly; add annotations where we
know what work is needed, next we'll look at the other bugs.

Temporary hacks should be temporary, especially if they hide bugs. After
fixing one in the previous commit this is just busy work to add download
information to the places which check that output.

<title>don't auto-switch candidate if installed is good enough</title>

<content type='text'>
If we perform candidate switching in requests like "apt install foo/bar"
we should first check if the dependencies of foo from release bar are
already satisfied by what is already installed before checking if the
candidate (or switched candidate) would.

<title>do not strip epochs from state version strings</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a38cec81d349525c447004ef8fe9dc942c8bd9bb</id>
<content type='text'>
The epoch stripping in this code is done since day one, but in other
places we show a version epochs are not stripped. If epochs are present
in packages they tend to be an important information which we can't just
drop and especially can't drop "sometimes" as that confuses users and
tools alike – so even if removing code in use for (close to) 18 years
feels wrong, it is probably the right choice for consistency.

This doesn't allow all tests to run cleanly, but it at least allows to
write tests which could run successfully in such environments.

<title>show or-groups in not-installed recommends and suggests lists</title>

Further abstracting our new ShowList allows to use it for containers of
strings as well giving us the option to implement an or-groups display
for the recommends and suggests lists which is a nice trick given that
it also helps with migrating the last remaining other cases of old
ShowList.

We use test{success,failure} now all over the place in the framework, so
its only consequencial to do this in the situations in which we test for
a specific output as well.
