[chef] chef 12 ignores default_release for apt_package

[Thomas Preißler < >]

Hey! 

I just figured out an issue after upgrading to chef 12. When specifying a default_release option for apt_package this option will be ignored. 

Small example:

apt_package "haveged" do

  default_release "wheezy-backports"

end

I would expect that chef install 1.9.1-1~bpo70+1, but it actually installs 1.4-4. Using chef 11.16 this works as expected and installs haveged from backports. Please have a look at the attachment for a small recipe that illustrates the issue.

Thanks!

Thomas
