Varying cases and one is just shortened to medium, but
oh well, it's all better than the previous words.

LP: #1849406

Do not hardcode Debian + Ubuntu codenames, use distro-info-data

See merge request apt-team/python-apt!52

Code cleanup I did not want to mix with the actual work.

Gbp-Dch: ignore

The new name is less confusing, and makes stuff easier, but
also harder for pinning, but who cares really.

and Ubuntu

Read the data from distro-info-data and expand templates
in-memory such that we don't have to duplicate data.

For Ubuntu, this changes some historical releases a bit more, but the
changes do seem correct, and the test suite still passes. Mostly just
some reorganization that was done in later releases passed down to older
releases.

LP: #1727470

Also remove the APT PPA

Mypy 0.790 complains that:

apt/package.py:473: error: Variable "builtins.NotImplemented" is not valid as a type
apt/package.py:473: note: See https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/common_issues.html#variables-vs-type-aliases

This worked fine in 0.782.

As a workaround, use Any instead of NotImplemented. Ugh

See https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/4791 for more
information.

Fix some issues reported by lintian

Fix sphinx docs

See merge request apt-team/python-apt!51

Fix a trivial "unused comment" complaint from mypy

Squash lots of warnings about improper C syntax by switching the docs
to use the sphinx cpp domain instead (which also required switching
c:data definitions to cpp:var as the latter domain lacks the "data"
definition).

The highlightlang directive was deprecated in favour of highlight.
Also fix a warning about parsing a code-block (which is actually an
e-mail snippet).

The HashStringList definition is already automatically including
:members: in its output, so the autoattribute:: redundantly re-defines
the "usable" attribute, leading to the warning.

At some point in its history, sphinx switched from using contents.rst to
index.rst as the master document and now warns that if projects aren't
using index.rst they need to explicitly set master_doc in their
configuration.

The defindex.html template has been obsolete for yonks and has been
removed, unremoved, deprecated, and finally (definitely?) removed as
of sphinx 3. See https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/issues/2986 for
the sordid history :)

LP: #1874880

This includes, but might not be limited to:

- explicit version checks
- try/except ImportError wrapping of typing imports
- referencing imported types like `Type  # pyflakes` because
  older pyflakes stumbled upon them only being used in `# type`
  comments

Doing this via pybuild is somewhat nasty, as it does not
allow us to move all the common files into the common
package itself, so we have to hack around that.

I'd like to more declaratively state which files belong
into common, or for pybuild to figure that out itself
(it ain't hard), but meh, what can I do?

This fixes the problem where the wildcard that was
matching debug symbols "d-*" (formerly dm-*) also is
matching kfreebsd-, and hence caused FTBFS on freebsd.

Closes: #958118

Stop building for Python 2

See merge request apt-team/python-apt!48

Aside from dropping Python2 support, this also moves the
documentation from /usr/share/doc/python-apt to
/usr/share/python-apt-doc, which might be unfortunate.

The next step, in 2.1.1, will be to actually do code changes
to take advantage of Python 3.

Closes: #937579

[py2removal] Use pyflakes3 instead of pyflakes
