Bug#594211: apt-get.cc: consistency of message for P_: "is" <-> "were"

[Osamu Aoki <osamu@debian.org>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.7.25.3
Severity: normal

(My source file are from bzr repo.)

I am translating apt and found a strange string.  The corresponding
source is in cmdline/apt-get.cc, lines around 1649-1660:

-------------
   // if we don't remove them, we should show them!
   if (doAutoRemove == false && (autoremovelist.empty() == false || autoRemoveCount != 0))
   {
      if (smallList == false)
         ShowList(c1out, P_("The following package is automatically installed and is no longer required:",
                  "The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:",
                  autoRemoveCount), autoremovelist, autoremoveversions);
      else
         ioprintf(c1out, P_("%lu package was automatically installed and is no longer required.\n",
                  "%lu packages were automatically installed and are no longer required.\n", autoRemoveCount), autoRemoveCount);
      c1out << _("Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.") << std::endl;
   }
-------------

I think following should make it more consistent.

 s/The following package is/The following package was/

This is consistency issue.  I think this is the best solution.

But if you insist to use "is" here, strings for ioprintf is inconsistent
with this and singular text does not match plural one.
