** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  APT releases the locks in the same order it acquires them, rather than 
reverse order. Given that we have no waiting for locks, this is not _super_ 
problematic, but it might be wrong: You'd get a lock failure on dpkg's lock, 
rather than lock-frontend.
  
  [Test case]
  Watch lock release with strace and see that it unlocks the right way.
  
  [Regression potential]
- ...
+ Some other locking races or something?
