Although I haven't been able to apt-clone this yet due to apt-cacher-ng
bizarrely not liking one of the gazillion packages it wants to install,
it seems very suspicious to me that libc6:i386 ends up with a score of
-17473.  My reading of the scoring algorithm is that no package should
ever be able to get a score less than -2.  I think what we're seeing
here is signed short overflow, so apt scores libc6 extremely low when it
should be scored extremely high.  I strongly suspect that converting the
scores from signed short to signed int, although it would use a few more
kilobytes of memory, will fix this bug.
