[Bug 1679220] [NEW] Installer pulls packages from other releases in the pool

[Phillip Susi]

Public bug reported:

Frequently people reuse a USB stick to install another release, and the
install fails because apt tries to pull packages from the wrong release.
Apt should only be looking in the pool for the current release rather
than everything it can find.

** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
