Additional Software: ensure APT is not broken after being interrupted

intrigeri requested to merge 18657-fix-additional-software-permissions into testing

If APT is interrupted at the wrong time, it'll leave files owned by root:root in its "partial" directories. And then next time one uses APT, it'll notice it cannot overwrite those files as its default download user (_apt), and will thus try to download as root. Except our firewall prevents root from connecting to the Tor SOCKS proxy that APT is configured to use, so APT is stuck.
