Bug#807983: apt-cache policy no longer displays pinning info

Package: apt
Version: 1.1.4
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

==================================================================================

After upgrading from apt 1.1.3 to 1.1.4 (testing) I noticed apt-cache
policy no longer shows pinning info, for example

  => apt-cache policy sendmail-bin
  sendmail-bin:
    Installed: 8.14.9-1
    Candidate: 8.14.9-1
    Version table:
       8.15.2-2 500
          500 http://debian.lcs.mit.edu/debian testing/main i386 Packages
       8.14.9-4 500
          500 http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20150904 testing/main i386 Packages
       8.14.9-2 500
          500 http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20150720 testing/main i386 Packages
   *** 8.14.9-1 1001
          500 copy:/usr3/Installs/DEB ./ Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
       8.14.4-8 500
          500 http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20141018 testing/main i386 Packages

Actually, sendmail-bin_8.14.9-1 is up to date on this system because of this pin
in /etc/apt/preferences.d/:

  Package: sendmail-bin
  Pin: version 8.14.9-1
  Pin-Priority: 1001


Earlier versions of apt-get showed also the pin info, so it would be
easy to tell that the package was actually pinned (and to verify it could
not be upgraded by mistake), something like:

  => apt-cache policy sendmail-bin
  sendmail-bin:
    Installed: 8.14.9-1
    Candidate: 8.14.9-1
	Pin: 8.14.9-1         <<<<<<<<<<<<<< no longer appears in apt_1.1.4
    Version table:
	...


Restoring this behavior would make it much easier to see why a package
is kept at a version that is not the latest.

[Perhaps this is related to the change in 1.1~exp9 to the pinning algorithm?]
