Revive "quick filter" by using apt-xapian-index directly without ept
Users report the removal of the libept dependency caused loss of the "quick
filter" bar which, reportedly, has better usability than Edit>Search
feature for some users due to better relevancy of results.
(Eg. try "apt" Search will return aapt as the first result whereas quick
filter will return "apt" as first result as expected)
It seems libept was hastily removed from Debian because of overall
deprecation of debbugs, however here in synaptic none of the debbugs parts
of libept were really used only the transitive dependency on libxapian-dev
and two trivial API functions for xapian database handling where relevant.
This commit refactors the code to depend on libxapian-dev directly and
pulls in the trivial code to find the apt-xapain-index database file.
See commit 21790e0263 ("Build without libept")
