Package: base-files
Version: 6.4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Please add /etc/dpkg/origins/ubuntu (patch attached).
mozilla-devscripts uses "dpkg-vendor --query Vendor" to determine if it is run
on Debian or Ubuntu. It acts differently on both system. I added test cases
for Debian setting DEB_VENDOR=Debian and for Ubuntu setting DEB_VENDOR=Ubuntu,
but "DEB_VENDOR=Ubuntu dpkg-vendor --query Vendor" returns Debian, because
Ubuntu isn't know. Therefore the test cases fail and I can't upload the next
version of mozilla-devscripts.

What you are asking does not seem reasonable to me at all.
Everybody is free to make a fork of Debian. Everybody is free to make
a package which runs in both Debian and the fork, if he finds a good
way to achieve that.
But we (Debian) are not supposed to track each and every fork.
In particular I think that including /etc/dpkg/origins/ubuntu in Debian
is the wrong thing to do.
So please find another way to do that, or, if you think this is a bug
in dpkg, you can reopen this and reassign to dpkg.
