Public bug reported:
A recent change to sks packaging uses the dpkg-vendor command to
determine if the current OS derives from Ubuntu. dpkg-vendor is
provided by the dpkg-dev package, which sks does not, and should not
depend on.
In order for the postinst to behave properly, it needs to gracefully
handle the situation where the dpkg-vendor command does not exist.
