(how is it possible that my spamfilter eats valid important bugreports,
but mails with strange words (aka tags) added to these bugs are
considered ham…)

So now that i had a short look at it i think we need to change the
lockstep handling introduced to fix debbug 618288 (in APT 0.8.15) a bit
further by doing the unpack first for all packages which are (now)
M-A:same and already installed and only after that work on the non-
installed silbings.

Attached patch should do this from my branch, but i don't have the time
to test that properly currently. You might need to backport the other
packagemanager.cc fix in my branch, too (i guess lp will establish the
link soon). I will try to work that out with Michael then he is back in
action (and i am not mostly occupied by exams).

** Patch added: "prefer unpack of installed (now) M-A:same packages"
