Public bug reported:
[ SRU Justification ]
ubuntu-release-upgrades was unintentionally relying on a debhelper
bug/misfeature where mixing and matching dh(1) and explicit make targets would
lead "dh binary" to call a binary-indep target in debian/rules, despite no
dependency being declared. This dh(1) misfeature went away when arch/indep
handling was reworked in debhelper 12.5, and ubuntu-release-upgrader's
binary-indep target (which generated the release-upgrader tarball) hasn't been
called since.
[ Test Case ]
1) Make sure the release-upgrader tarball is built, included in .changes, and
published to the archive.
2) debdiff .deb binaries from this upload and the last to ensure nothing else
has gone amiss.
[ Regression Potential ]
Fairly low. This is just fixing some broken assumptions about makefiles and
debhelper to deterministically return us to the situation we were arriving at
by accident before.
[ Other Info ]
In doing this, and testing interaction between arch and indep targets and dh(1)
itself, I noted that there were a few more small fixes to be made which are
no-ops in the current package, but are ticking time-bombs if the package ever
grows a non-arch-all package, so I'm including those fixes too.
