We should not ship aptdaemon in Stretch. Aptdaemon is not maintained anymore
upstream and I do not believe that it is suitable for a stable Debian release.
It should have been dropped last release already.

There are currently two reverse dependencies:

* software-properties (#730807)
* isenkram (Bug#742429)

Both have to be ported to PackageKit. mak wanted to rebase the patch for s-p
IIRC, but I'm wondering about isenkram. Unfortunately, isenkram is needed
for debian-edu, otherwise I would have recommended the removal from testing.

I'm increasing the bug severities to serious, so we are sure to deal with
this before the release, as I don't want to have yet another release with
a basically unmaintained aptdaemon in it. Especially now that even Ubuntu
is moving to PackageKit.
