Title:
  apt-get upgrade ignores pinning preferences since 1.0.1ubuntu2.22

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in apt source package in Trusty:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I have updated apt this morning:

  Start-Date: 2019-03-22  09:36:18
  Commandline: apt-get dist-upgrade
  Upgrade: apt:amd64 (1.0.1ubuntu2.20, 1.0.1ubuntu2.22), ...

  
  Afterwards, apt-get ignores my pinning preferences:

  # apt-get --dry-run upgrade
  Reading package lists... Done
  Building dependency tree
  Reading state information... Done
  Calculating upgrade... Done
  The following packages will be DOWNGRADED:
    burp
  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 downgraded, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
  Inst burp [2.0.54-1] (1.3.48-4 Ubuntu:14.04/trusty [amd64])
  Conf burp (1.3.48-4 Ubuntu:14.04/trusty [amd64])

  
  # cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/burp.pref
  Package: burp
  Pin: version 2.0.54*
  Pin-Priority: 1000

  
  This might be caused by bug 1814727 as it's the only thing I can see in the changelog regarding apt/pinning.
