There is a typo in `/usr/sbin/install_packages` that disables filtering of
unknown packages:

   # @known contains the known packages

   # on Debian system, clean list of packages
-  if ( ! $opt_N && -f "$FAI_ROOT/usr/sbin/apt-cache" ) {
+  if ( ! $opt_N && -f "$FAI_ROOT/usr/bin/apt-cache" ) {
     @known = clean_pkg_list(@complete);
   } else {
     @known = @complete;
```

Result is that apt fails if there are any unknown or obsolete
packages in your config.
