Bug Description

This bug is aiming for SRU as well, after it has went into quantal.

[Impact]

The quality of the search results is sadly not very high in the Music lens right now. Fx. typing "spears" gives exactly 1 result (!!!). Typing "britney spears" gives something more expected.

[Test case]

Testing for the bug:
 * Go to the music lens (hit super-m)
 * Search for "spears"
 * Observe 1 result called "Spear"
 * Search for "britney spears" and observe lots of results

Testing the fix:
 * Go to the music lens (hit super-m)
 * Search for "spears"
 * Observe lots of relevant results (>> 1 result :-))

[Regression Potential]

Getting more results perhaps resulting in getting worse first results, but in the case of this patch it seems unlikely.

      Fix u1 search results to not seem too random. Lowers mem churn in
      musicstore scope quite a bit. (LP: #1021656)
  * Restore tests/assertions.vapi that was missed from the release

Set up bug targets properly. This was released as a cherry-pick in precise, even though no new upstream release was made.
