apt 2.6.0 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

apt (2.6.0) unstable; urgency=medium

  * The "unhappy bookworm" release. Too many changes needed to clarify
    licensing.

  [ Cyril Brulebois ]
  * Teach apt-cdrom's scoring system about non-free-firmware (Closes: #1029751)

  [ David Kalnischkies ]
  * More support for non-free-firmware
    - Have values in Section config trees refer to them in all components
    - Add non-free-firmware component in documentation
    - Suggest using non-free-firmware in update for Debian
  * other bookworm regressions:
    - Bump codenames in docs in preparation for Debian 12
    - Detect trimmed changelogs and pick online instead (Closes: #1024457)
  * Do not store trusted=yes Release file unconditionally

  [ Miroslav Kure ]
  * Czech program translation update (Closes: #1031008)

  [ Bastian Germann ]
  * machine-readable version of COPYING (Closes: #1019273), initial version

  [ Julian Andres Klode ]
  * Update lintian override info format in d/apt.lintian-overrides
  * Further work on machine-readable COPYING file and the source code comments
    to address licensing inadequacies:
    - Address statements of public domain
    - po/nb.po: Relicensing GPL-2.0 -> GPL-2.0+. Thanks Petter for chasing
      down the copyright holders and getting agreement.
    - COPYING: Group by license
    - Address translation licensing concerns
    - COPYING: Address RunScripts()
    - We do not believe rsh was supposed to exclude GPL-3
    This unfortunately creates a bit of churn, but updating the COPYING file
    without addressing the actual licensing issues would not have solved the
    bug.
