Title:
regression: apt.postint fails if never previously configured
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:

Status in apt source package in Bionic:

Status in apt source package in Focal:

Bug description:
#1968154 removed `/etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal` in this patch:
https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/commit/?id=f9d2d993687c0d5223c241956ef6a0aabcf15bf0
...but `apt.postinst` still tries to run it:
# create kernel autoremoval blacklist on update
if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt 0.9.9.3; then
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal
fi
If I understand correctly, "$2" is the most-recently-configured-
version, and if it's empty `dpkg --compare-versions lt` will evaluate
to true.
This fails when I'm building a focal (20.04) userspace from scratch:
$ dpkg --configure -a
[...]
Setting up apt (2.0.8) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/apt.postinst: 65:
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal: not found
dpkg: error processing package apt (--configure):
installed apt package post-installation script subprocess returned error
exit status 127
It works with apt 2.0.6.
