Bug#33394: dpkg: --forget-old-unavail doesn't work properly

[jdg@maths.qmw.ac.uk (Julian Gilbey)]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.33

dpkg --forget-old-unavail only removes unavailable packages from the
status file which have Status: purge ok not-installed, but not those
which have Status: hold ok not-installed, which is the usual state of
play for never-installed packages.
