Public bug reported:

PackageKit 1.2.8 fails with assertion error when processing packages 
with Phased-Update-Percentage metadata field from Ubuntu Pro ESM repositories.

Error: pk_package_set_update_severity: assertion failed - expects one of:
PK_INFO_ENUM_UNKNOWN, PK_INFO_ENUM_LOW, PK_INFO_ENUM_NORMAL, 
PK_INFO_ENUM_IMPORTANT, PK_INFO_ENUM_CRITICAL

Steps to reproduce:
1. Enable Ubuntu Pro ESM Apps and ESM Infra
2. Run: pkcon get-updates
3. Assertion error occurs when parsing Phased-Update-Percentage field

The issue occurs because PackageKit treats Phased-Update-Percentage 
as a severity enum value, but it's a numeric percentage field.
