Bug#801580: jessie-pu: package apt-offline/1.5

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf <rrs@debian.org>]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Tags: jessie
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: pu

The python-apt module is not really a drop-in replacement for apt.
Unfortunately, for Jessie, apt-offline has python-apt as the default
backend.

This update for Jessie will change that to standard apt, something that
is the default in newer releases too.

Please see attached debdiff for the exact change. Please respond to this
bug report with an ACK and then I'll upload it to the archive.
