Bug description:
[Impact]
* Packages kept back are listed in the email report, but it is not
clear from which origins they are installable. This information may
help administrators to decide if the packages need to be manually
upgraded.
[Test Case]
* test_mail.py test is updated to check if the kept back packages are
reported per origin and this is checked at build time.
* For manual testing:
1. Configure u-u to allow upgrades from the -updates pocket and send email
with the upgrade report.
2. Set up the system to have a few packages upgradable from both the
-security and -updates pockets.
3. Mark a subset of packages which are upgradable as held, marking packages
from each of the pockets.
4. Run u-u and observe the kept packages listed in the email. Each package
is listed only in the allowed origin providing the highest version. (LP:
#1848697 covers listing them in all origins from which the packages could be
upgraded to.)
[Regression Potential]
* Unattended upgrades may crash while trying to perform updates or
while trying to send the summary email. Build-time tests and
autopkgtests include testing both functions.
