Title:
  apt/trusty: Stack overflow in apt-ftparchive; on arm64, breaking about
  a third of the tests

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apt source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  autopkgtest suite on arm64 is basically useless, as about a third of the tests do not work, because they rely on apt-ftparchive generating an archive

  [Test case]
  Substantially less tests should fail, there should be no segfaults.

  [Regression potential]
  I am cherry-picking a fix that changes statically length arrays (that are too small) to vector. A possible regression could be fields missing I guess, it should definitely be easily noticeable. Low risk.
