Title:
  Skip rebuilding python-apt in upgrade autopkgtests

Status in unattended-upgrades package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed
Status in unattended-upgrades source package in Bionic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * Python-apt has a new build dependency making the rebuilding as is
  failing and the reference handling issue is worked around in
  unattended-upgrades already.

   * Table updates of python-apt may make u-u autopkgtest fail without
  the u-u package having any problem when it is installed.

  
  [Test Case]

   * Check upgrade-all-security autopkgtest output, it should not
  rebuild the python-apt package.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Autopkgtest may fail due running it with not rebuilt python-apt.
  This problem can be caught easily when testing the package.
