print_apt_packages: Go back to apt-cache for non-installed packages

Unfortunately, /var/lib/dpkg/status on recent-ish Debian versions at
least only contains the *installed* packages, rendering this solution
broken.

What we do instead is:

1. Remove a useless newline from each package, so our limit would now
let more full package data sets through
2. Increase the limit by 5x

This yields a completion that runs in ~800ms instead of ~700ms on a
raspberry pi, but gives ~10x the candidates, compared to the old
apt-cache version.
