So now that i had a short look at it i think we need to change the lockstep handling introduced to fix debbug 618288 (in APT 0.8.15) a bit further by doing the unpack first for all packages which are (now) M-A:same and already installed and only after that work on the non-installed silbings.

Attached patch should do this from my branch, but i don't have the time to test that properly currently. You might need to backport the other packagemanager.cc fix in my branch, too (i guess lp will establish the link soon). I will try to work that out with Michael then he is back in action (and i am not mostly occupied by exams).
