Sorry, there is no way this is acceptable, as this configures apt as a package
manager with default ubuntu sources and removes the necessary libification
package splitting.

It violates our packaging policies and enables potentially system-damaging
behavior.

Honestly, I don't particularly want to ship intentionally old versions of APT,
because it makes it difficult for me to work with upstream if things need to be
done there.

If you want to ship old versions of Debian tools in Fedora that you maintain,
that's your business, but note that makes it harder for people packaging for
Debian officially from Fedora to work, since they'll be missing the versions of
tools needed to develop packaging against the latest version of the Debian
Policy.
