thanks for the feedback, the output here should depend on the
pre-existing versions endpoint at `GET nodes/{nodename}/apt/versions`
(note that `nodename` is usually just `localhost` as there is no
clustering yet). the unknown stems from proxmox-apt's assumption that
every product has a meta package, which pdm doesn't seems to have yet.

so while this isn't ideal, it is somewhat expected. the output for
`proxmox-datacenter-manager` should be correct, though. the output above
is only shown if you run this command with the `--verbose` flag.

to fix this we could set the meta package name to
`proxmox-datacenter-manager` as well in `server/src/api/nodes/apt.rs @
get_versions()`, but that wil lead to duplicate lines. i'll add a patch
in that regard to v2, it can still be dropped when applying.
