*	don't perform implicit crossgrades involving M-A:same	David Kalnischkies	2016-11-24	1	-4/+28
\| \| \| \| \| \|	dpkg stumbles over these (#844300) and we haven't dropped 'easier' removes to be implicit and to be scheduled by dpkg by default so far so we shouldn't push the decision in such cases to dpkg either.
*	improve arch-unqualified dpkg-progress parsing	David Kalnischkies	2016-11-24	1	-2/+11
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Our old idea was to look for the first package which would be "touched" and take this as the package dpkg is talking about, but that is incorrect in complicated situations like a package upgraded to/from multiple M-A:same siblings installed. As we us the progress report to decide what is still needed we have to be reasonabily right about the package dpkg is talking about, so we jump to quite a few loops to get it.
*	try to avoid removal of crossgraded packages	David Kalnischkies	2016-08-10	1	-0/+49
	The user has to approve the removal of a crossgraded package as it might be needed to remove it (temporarily) in the process, but in most cases we can happily avoid it and let dpkg unpack over it skipping the remove. This has some effects on progress reporting and how deal with selections through which makes this a tiny bit complicated.
