Subject: [PATCH] Fix NOTIFY_HOLDS=0 behavior with multiarch
When using multiarch, the output of `dpkg --get-selections` appends
the system's base architecture to the ends of some packages names, but
the output of `apt-get -q -y -s dist-upgrade` does not, with the
result that when NOTIFY_HOLDS=0 some packages don't get filtered out
of the output when they should be.
Fix this by stripping the system's base architecture from package
names in the `dpkg` output so they can be correctly filtered out of
the `apt-get` output.
