Which is after a bit of thinking not that surprising:
libapt-pkg is already unpacked and configured before apt is unpacked anyway
(as APT handles itself as essential), so the solution we arrive at is more or
less the same - good to know that at least sometimes theory isn't disproved by
the implementation. :)
Scheduled for 0.9.7.5
ETA: After we know what will happen with 0.9.7.4 (#685155)
