Mathieu Fenniak cf13d34293 fix: replace limit/offset pagination in debian SearchPackages (#9892)
Last case identified from code analysis of "bad" iteration using LIMIT/OFFSET, as occurred in https://codeberg.org/forgejo/discussions/issues/404 -- debian `SearchPackages`.  This function is covered by existing automated testing in `TestSearchPackages`.

As with some of the other LIMIT/OFFSET cases, I'm marking this as a bug/confirmed because we know this pattern is problematic, but a specific problem has not been reproduced.  This case is less problematic than others due to the use of sorting, but it's still not fully defined to a unique key, and performance problems would exist with the OFFSET approach if a large number of package files are returned.
