[Bug 1981672] Re: phased updates API and client for aptitude

[Julian Andres Klode]

To make it clear, my suggestion for a workaround for jammy would be to
have

_config->CndSet("APT::Get::Phase-Policy", true);

somewhere in the aptitude code. It is unclear to me if aptitude will
break then as phased versions get their pin limited to 1, apt certainly
does if there's a mismatch as in bug 1979244

Anyone doing the SRU will have to analyse that regression potential.

  Having the configuration at
  https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/phased-updates-in-apt-in-21-04/20345/24
  it fails to work.

  The phased updates get distributed on some hosts anyways for 22.04.

  Please properly document and test this, and provide a working
  configuration to opt out from phased updates.
