- Don't ship the file preferences file as this is a violation of the Debian
policy. Lintian throws a hard error that can't be overridden. Remove the lintian
override. Remove this file using maintainer scripts when upgrading from all
version below 20.5.
- The preferences file is now renamed to 50freedombox4.pref.
- Instead write the file when the app is getting setup (on each new version).
- Don't run the setup code on daily timer, instead run the code when the app
upgrades. This ensures that as soon as freedombox package is upgraded and run,
the new preferences file is created instead of waiting for the daily timer to
run.
- From now on when the preferences change, we will increment the version number
of the upgrades app. Change the setup() for the app so that it does not
re-enable automatic upgrades every time setup() is run.

It is incorrect to check for backports availability, FreedomBox systems got
added buster-backports sources prematurely. This will lead to apt update
failures resulting in FreedomBox becoming unable to install new apps.
Fix this by removing old sources and adding new sources only after
performing (this time correct) backports URL check.
Closes: #1496.

If we release version 50 into testing and version 49 into buster-backports and
assuming version 45 is in stable, then for stable users, version 49 is selected
properly and upgraded due non-availability of 50 for them and high
prioritization of buster-backports over buster/stable. This is as expected.
For the case of testing user, this does not work as expected, however.
buster-backports will be given 800 priority, testing will be given 500
priority (default) and version 49 will be picked instead of the expected 50.
Setting priority to 500 fixes the problem. It will equate the buster-backports
to all other repositories and will let the system pick the highest version
available.
Closes: #1498.

- Merge backports functionality into upgrades module.
- No need to enable systemd timer as dh_installsystemd automatically enables
this during package installation and upgrade.
- Use https:// and deb.debian.org for repository checking. When using Tor for
package installations request the URL via Tor.
- Make daily checking service more generic for all kind of future apt repository
updates.
- Force removal of repository file during purge to avoid failures.
- Don't add contrib/non-free as backports is intended to be enabled for just the
freedombox package and it is free. When the need arises, we can introduce
contrib/non-free. This also eliminates an issue that adding these components
doesn't work without the usage of tor.
- Allow generate apt preferences file to avoid lintian complaining about its
presence. Remove on purge.
- Add unattended upgrades origin pattern to allow it to upgrade from backports
repositories.
