Test Case
=========
1. From Ubuntu 18.04, uninstall gnome-tweaks and gnome-tweak-tool if installed.

2. Download gnome-tweak-tool from 17.10

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-tweak-
tool/3.26.2.1-1ubuntu1/+build/13538022

3. sudo apt install ./gnome-tweak-tool_3.26.2.1-1ubuntu1_all.deb

4. sudo apt dist-upgrade

(gnome-tweak-tool is now a transitional package that depends on gnome-
tweaks).

5. sudo apt remove gnome-tweak-tool

6. sudo apt dist-upgrade

The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
  gnome-tweaks
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove it.

Excerpts from apt show
======================
$ apt show gnome-tweaks
Package: gnome-tweaks
Version: 3.27.4-1ubuntu1
Priority: optional
Breaks: gnome-tweak-tool (<= 3.27.4)
Replaces: gnome-tweak-tool (<= 3.27.4)
APT-Manual-Installed: no

$ apt show gnome-tweak-tool
Package: gnome-tweak-tool
Version: 3.27.4-1ubuntu1
Priority: optional
Section: universe/gnome
Source: gnome-tweaks
Depends: gnome-tweaks
Description: adjust advanced settings for GNOME - transitional package
 GNOME Tweak Tool allows the adjustment of several advanced GNOME
 options that can't be configured in gnome-control-center.
 .
 This package is here to ensure smooth upgrades. It can be removed when
 you see fit.

What's Wrong
============
I think that "APT-Manual-Installed: no" should not be set for gnome-tweaks.

Hmm, gnome-tweak-tool should be universe/oldlibs now. (Debian also
currently has it in 'gnome' instead of oldlibs.)
