Hi there!

I tried to look at the piuparts documentation, but I was unable to find
a solution to the problem below, so I am sorry if it is a mistake from
my side.

When doing an install-upgrade test, the apt-get package installation
should be forced from the first distribution set via -d (using the
apt-get -t option).  Otherwise, if the package being tested depends on
the same binary version of other packages, then installation from
official sources is not possible.  Git patch attached.

I encountered this bug while testing the new bacula-console package,
which depends on "bacula-common (= ${binary:Version})".  I setup a local
APT repository (managed via mini-dinstall and bindmounted in the
pbuilder chroot) for the packages to be tested.  But after installation,
piuparts always resolved the problem removing bacula-console instead of
installing the new bacula-common version.

Piuparts logs are available upon request or simply grab the testing
package at <http://pkg-bacula.alioth.debian.org/tmp/> ;-)

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
