[devel] [PATCH for apt] Properly process duplicated 3rd-party packages

[Aleksei Nikiforov]

If apt is configured via RPM::Allow-Duplicated configuration option
to recognize 3rd-party duplicate packages, and such packages
lack '%NAME = %EVR' provide or some similar form of provide
with package name, apt currently can only find such package
via full name form, which in addition to name may include
%EVR, %DISTTAG and %BUILDTIME if such tags are present.

This change would allow apt to find such packages using their names only.
