integration tests failing in yakkety and zesty: E: Version '4.1-6' for 'make' was not found

[Leo Arias]

We added a new integration test that checks that a deb with a specific version can be installed.
The problem here is that the archive will update and drop versions. This is currently failing in yakkety and zesty:

E: Version '4.1-6' for 'make' was not found

Priority set to critical because this blocks the landing of 2.28 in yakkety and zesty.
