apt has migrated since then, so the tests are passing now. We still
have a bug in APT where it flip flops the symbols but I also don't
want to force remove the symbols now, but I'm enqueuing this for
the transition to libapt-pkg7.0.
It's worth noting this does not affect bookworm->trixie updates
at all right now due to libapt-pkg6.0t64 being a new package and
having the right symbols in testing.
It's plausible that any new APT upload removes the symbols again
so this is all very fragile but it's the best we got for now I'm
afraid except for adding Depends: ibapt-pkg6.0t64 (= ${apt:Version}).
