The package currently in potato doesn't seem to have the default arg:
sarcastro:/usr/include/apt-pkg# dpkg -l | grep libapt-pkg-dev
ii libapt-pkg-dev 0.3.13 Development files for APT's libapt-pkg
sarcastro:/usr/include/apt-pkg# apt-get install libapt-pkg-dev
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Sorry, libapt-pkg-dev is already the newest version
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 168 not upgraded.
sarcastro:/usr/include/apt-pkg# grep GetLock dpkginit.h
bool GetLock(bool WithUpdates);
