[Bug 2057963] [NEW] apt-clone does not save or restore deb822 sources

[Nick Rosbrook]

Public bug reported:

This can be observed with the following on noble:

root at n2:~# apt policy apt-clone
apt-clone:
  Installed: 0.4.3+nmu2
  Candidate: 0.4.3+nmu2
  Version table:
 *** 0.4.3+nmu2 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
root at n2:~# ls /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
/etc/apt/sources.list

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/:
ubuntu.sources
root at n2:~# ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
ubuntu.sources
root at n2:~# apt-clone clone test.tar.gz
not installable: 
version mismatch: dosfstools, console-setup-linux, gdisk, cloud-init, keyboard-configuration, console-setup

Note that you can use --with-dpkg-repack to include those packages in the clone file.
root at n2:~# tar xvf test.tar.gz 
./var/lib/apt-clone/uname
./var/lib/apt-clone/installed.pkgs
./var/lib/apt-clone/foreign.pkgs
./var/lib/apt-clone/extended_states
./etc/apt/sources.list
./etc/apt/sources.list.d/
./etc/apt/preferences.d/
./etc/apt/preferences.d/ubuntu-pro-esm-apps
./etc/apt/preferences.d/ubuntu-pro-esm-infra
./etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/
./etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ubuntu-keyring-2012-cdimage.gpg
./etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ubuntu-keyring-2018-archive.gpg

Since we are going to deb822 by default, it would be nice to fix this
since apt-clone is often used for debugging, especially for bug reports
about upgrades.
