Bug description:
  Versions greater than 1.0.4-0 have dropped the python-swauth package
  but do not remove it such that an upgrade breaks with error like:

  Unpacking swauth (1.1.0-3~cloud0) over (1.0.4-0ubuntu1.16.04.1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/swauth_1.1.0-3~cloud0_all.deb (--unpack):

  If i remove python-swauth prior to upgrade it works just fine.
