[aptcc] package listing only includes newest version regardless of filters

[hsitter]

When a package has multiple versions available aptcc will always return the newest candidate. This makes it impossible to accurately resolve debug symbols since the exact version matching the main package needs installing even when that version is not the newest one.

what apt reports:

libruby2.7-dbgsym:
  Installed: (none)

Odd I thought I created a loop to iterate over all versions when I recall adding newest filter..

Maybe fixed after 1.1.13? I currently only have an ubuntu 20.04 to test with
