Ubuntu does not want to build udebs, because udebs are not used in
Ubuntu. dpkg was patched to set "DEB_BUILD_PROFILE=noudeb" by default
when building a package for Ubuntu. This behavior can be overridden by
setting the build profile "!noudeb", but "!noudeb" is not valid build
profile name according to the discussion in
https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/merge_requests/730

I like to discuss this topic with the wider audience to come up with a
clean and acceptable solution for Ubuntu.

What are your thoughts? Do you have a better solution?

Why was this done by patching dpkg, instead of configuring the Ubuntu buildds to always set the noudeb profile?

It seems patching dpkg causes more problems than it solves?
