  coinstallable packages

Bug description:
  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.
