[Bug 1057367] [NEW] please upgrade status database to remove mixed non-coinstallable and coinstallable packages

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

Public bug reported:

To fix the bug 1015567 a workaround is going to be applied [1]. The
workaround does not silently convert rc packages from non-ma to ma. The
conversion should be done in dpkg before next LTS is released, otherwise
dpkg will be stuck having [1] patch forever.
