deb: pin proposed pocket when building against it

'proposed' pockets are marked 'NotAutomatic' in their Release file,
which gives them an apt priority of 1: apt would ignore them during
build-dependency resolution even when the suite is enabled.

Write an apt preferences entry pinning '{series}-proposed' at
priority 600 so build-dependencies are actually resolved from the
requested pocket.

Apt preferences are global: a single 'release' pin matches the pinned
suite on every repository carrying it (archive, security and ports),
for all architectures, so this also covers cross-builds pulling
dependencies from 'ports.ubuntu.com'.
