[Bug 1517426] Re: [trusty] lxc: lxc now depends on lxcfs which is only in backports

[Martin Pitt]

I mitigated this by adding this beauty to the worker.conf's setup
commands:

    sed -i '/^deb.*-backports/d' /etc/apt/sources.list `ls
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/*2>/dev/null || true`

A more elegant fix would be to tell apt-get source to somehow respect
the apt pinning, i. e. get the source from the series/pocket that it
would install the binaries for. But this doesn't seem to be easy. We
can't explicitly say "apt-get source foo/trusty" as we sometimes (but
not always) have -updates, -proposed, PPAs, etc. We also shouldn't say
"apt-get source foo=<version_of_trigger>" as we would then fail if there
was another upload of foo in between britney ran the last time and the
test started.
