** Description changed:

  Building tools/testing/selftests/bpf/ requires dependencies which cannot
  be easily satisfied by our build process.  The problem is well-described
  by the pending upstream patch:
  
  https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20201210185233.28091-1-broo...@kernel.org/
  From: Mark Brown <broo...@kernel.org>
  Subject: [PATCH] selftests: Skip BPF seftests by default
  
  To effect the same for {groovy, hirsute} we must instead make a
  debian/rules change via "UBUNTU: disable building bpf selftests (no
  VMLINUX_BTF)".
  
  But lets also pick up the upstream change above, as well as my related
  "clarify" change, also pending upstream.
  
  These three patches should be applied to {groovy, hirsute}:
  
-   UBUNTU: SAUCE: selftests/bpf: clarify build error if no vmlinux
-   UBUNTU: SAUCE: selftests: Skip BPF seftests by default
-   UBUNTU: disable building bpf selftests (no VMLINUX_BTF)
+   UBUNTU: SAUCE: selftests/bpf: clarify build error if no vmlinux
+   UBUNTU: SAUCE: selftests: Skip BPF seftests by default
+   UBUNTU: disable building bpf selftests (no VMLINUX_BTF)
+ 
+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * No end-user effect; selftests are not packaged.
+  * Allows us to build-test upstream changes to selftests/.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * fdr compileselftests
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * Low: disables building a subtree that has always to build in {g,h}.
