Merge lp:~roadmr/checkbox/122521-plainbox-packaging-min-version into lp:~checkbox-dev/checkbox/plainbox-packaging

[Daniel Manrique]

This has plainbox-service require minimum versions of python3-plainbox and plainbox.

This is to ensure that upgrades on systems which already had plainbox-*
packages bring those minimum versions, because they contain a critical fix.

plainbox-service is in turn depended on by driver-testing, so if https://code.launchpad.net/~roadmr/checkbox-ihv-ng/packaging-new-version-fix is merged, it will mean that installing driver-testing will also upgrade the chain of plainbox packages (plainbox-service -> plainbox -> python3-plainbox) to the minimum requested versions.

For the record, I'm somewhat unhappy with this solution as it will be a bit hard to maintain, but other than having driver-testing depend directly on plainbox and python3-plainbox, I couldn't think of anything better.

I don't see a better alternative, too. Thanks, great work.
