Bug description:
  Test Case
  ---------
  1) install apt-xapian-index on a yakkety system
  2) observe python3-xapian1.3 is installed too
  3) edit /etc/apt/sources.list to zesty
  4) run apt-get update
  5) run apt-get install apt-xapian-index
  6) observe python3-xapian1.3 is still installed and that python3-xapian is not

  With -proposed enabled python3-xapian1.3 will be removed and
  python3-xapian will be installed.

  Regression Potential
  --------------------
  It's possible python3-xapian doesn't really have everything we need so some testing of apt-xapian-index should be done.

  Recently got this uploaded:

  apt-xapian-index (0.47ubuntu12) zesty; urgency=medium

    * d/control: Drop the explicit Depends/Build-Depends on
      python3-xapian1.3 since that was a development snapshot we only used
      in our port to Python 3.  Straight up python3-xapian (1.4) has
      everything we need.  (LP: #1660216)

  But 1.3.5 continue to be used by default. Python3-xapian1.3 is now declared as orphan.
  So the system is not switching itself to 1.4.3

  The orphaned package have to be purged manually, and apt-xapian-index is removed. The upgrade cant be made directly due to conflict. At last apt-xapian-index has to be reinstalled.
  After that tweak, the index is working as expected.
