[Bug 1216783] [NEW] apt-get download ignores the option -t

[Sworddragon]

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 dev with apt 0.9.9.1~ubuntu2. Trying to use the
option -t with apt-get download will result as if the option -t was not
given. Here is an example which shows that the wrong package was
downloaded:

sworddragon at ubuntu:/tmp$ apt-cache policy shared-mime-info
shared-mime-info:
  Installed: 1.1-0ubuntu4
  Candidate: 1.1-0ubuntu4
  Version table:
 *** 1.1-0ubuntu4 0

     1.1-0ubuntu2 0
