Classification: HACK

This patch allows to configure whether '--promoteepoch' will be used
when calling rpm. This happens through config['promotepoch'] and is
required when installing pre-FC1 packages with a recent rpm-version.

It is a hack since apt does not allow a direct setup for this flag;
instead of, RPM::Erase-Options will be abused since it is never used
by mach operations.
