Bug#569619: live-helper: debs in config/chroot_local-packages is given lowest priority by apt

[Jon Bobson <perrinaz@yahoo.com>]

Package: live-helper
Version: 2.0~a6-1
Severity: normal


According to apt's manpages, the sources are listed in order of preference.  Since the deb: file... line generated by live-helper is at the end of the sources.list, it takes last priority behind everything else in sources.list and sources.list.d.  If the file generate were changed to something like:

                                # Add to sources.list
                                echo "" > chroot/etc/apt/sources.list.d/50local-packages.list
                                echo "# Local packages" >> chroot/etc/apt/sources.list.d/50local-packages.list
                                echo "deb file:/root/local-packages ./" >> chroot/etc/apt/sources.list.d/50local-packages.list


it would bring the file: to higher than sources.list and leave room on both sides for the builder to decide where he wants it in the list of custom sources.

I didn't include this as a patch as it is only one of many ways of making the change and I will leave it up to the maintainers to decide just how they want to handle things.
