Version regression report

I just rediscovered my script that calculates which versions in a newer release
are lower than updates in the previous release. These packages won't be upgraded
when the user upgrades, which means they might end up with problems, or new installs
miss out on fixes in older releases.

I ran this two times: One time with -security enabled, one time with -updates enabled
as well. Optimally, we'd not have any issues in either run (though bionic -> cosmic
is probably less important than the LTS->LTS upgrades, and latest -> latest).

I really should get this run as a cron job and build some nice HTML pages, so we can
keep track of this over the next cycle.

Some things stand out in the report:

* snapcraft in disco has cosmic in changelog, and 18.10 in the version, but is in disco,
not cosmic.
* libdrm backport in trusty is 2.4.67-1ubuntu0.14.04.2, when it probably should be
2.4.67-1~ubuntu0.14.04.2 (as xenial has 2.4.67-1, which is lower).
* Various packages have ubuntu0.X uploads, but only a buildY in a later version, and
build < ubuntu. Some of them might be wrongly versioned, but others are missing fixes
in later versions, e.g. uwsgi-plugin-php has a security upload in bionic, but cosmic
and disco are unfixed. Getting closer to the next LTS, we should keep an eye on these.
