We have been wanting to move to proper packagekit for several cycles, in
fact we tried to do that for xenial when we started using gnome-software
since that's what upstream is using. Bugs had been open but so far we
didn't find people with free slots to work on converting those to
packagekit.

Of course you can check open bugs and files some new one but that's not
likely to help much moving the topic forward if we don't find people or
team to step up to work on that...

Note that at least for language-selector pitti mentioned in the past
that aptdaemon has some specific feature that isn't available in
packagekit so we might need to invest some work on packagekit itself as
well.

The change is a trivial gtk property tweak, why would we discard the fix
rather than just force migrating the new version in, since it has no
actual regression?
