  [Impact]
  dist-upgrade from artful to bionic fails with attached tarball
  
  [Test case]
  artful:
  1. Install new desktop-file-utils
  2. check that dist-upgrade works
  bionic:
  1. Download new deb
- 2. Run apt-get dist-upgrade path/to/deb to trigger upgrade with that deb 
being upgraded too.
+ 2. Run apt-get dist-upgrade path/to/deb in xenial to trigger upgrade with 
that deb being upgraded too.
  
  [Regression potential]
  Packages installing desktop files to /usr/share/applications won't get put in 
triggers-awaited state due to d-f-u.
  
  [Other info]
  Just fixing bionic makes an apt dist-upgrade work (not sure about 
do-release-upgrade); but it might not work in other circumstances I guess, so 
it might make sense to upload the fix to older releases.
  
  We can only verify artful and bionic, though, so xenial would have to go
  in unchecked.
  
  [Original bug report]
  run `sudo do-release-upgrade` on a relativity new 16.04 EC2 instance.

+ The trigger causes the desktop database to be updated, as such it is
+ possible to use noawait here, as there's no reason for packages shipping
+ .desktop files to be not configured just because the database has not
+ been updated yet.

+ The same change has been made in Debian in 0.23-2.
