This will break at least the use of network-console for 8.04.1, as well
as Carl's use case of installing openssh-client-udeb for debugging
purposes on a netboot install, unless fixed.
The problem is essentially that, because libdebian-installer doesn't
have proper support for multiple Packages files, it gets confused by the
same package being in all of hardy, hardy-security, and hardy-updates
(we point it to all of those quite intentionally, so that we can update
at least the netboot installer effectively). anna ends up trying to
install the same package multiple times and getting tied up in knots.
This has actually been a long-term deficiency in libdebian-installer,
and I think fixing it is (a) hard and (b) requires an ABI break;
however, it seems like we could work around it in anna fairly
straightforwardly.
