Regarding the regression report on aptdaemon/armhf/xenial: aptdaemon test suite hangs on arm* across all releases, but that's not new (it hang occasionally before, or it just failed earlier, or in xenial's case had the wrong depends and never ran).
It's working on all other releases, so it's unlikely to be caused by the locking fix; and running the test suite and failing due to hanging on one arch and passing on the others is better than failing everywhere :)
