** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+  * No bug here, but a request from stgraber to sync up minor changes
+ from trusty prior to inclusion of libdumbnet in precise to support SRU
+ of open-vm-tools-lts-trusty in bug #1275656
+ 
+  * precise and trusty have the same upstream version, only changes that
+ happened in between are switch to dh_python2, change of Debian
+ maintainer and a no change rebuild by doko.  Those changes have been
+ back-ported to precise with this patch.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  * Rebuild package and inspect per
+ https://wiki.debian.org/Python/TransitionToDHPython2
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+  * Incorrect dependencies using dh_python2 as it guesses them from egg-
+ info metadata, however the rebuild of the package was good, so this
+ checks out.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+  
+  * stgraber proposed this solution to support bug #1275656 and mdeslaur had 
no objections to supporting libdumbnet in main for precise.

+ Original description...
+ 
  Bug #1275656 is an SRU/MIR of open-vm-tools-lts-trusty to precise; it
  depends on libdumbnet which is in universe currently in precise.
  libdumbnet was promoted from universe to main for Trusty, the MIR is in
  bug #1220950. The only dependency for libdumbnet-dev or libdumbnet1 is
  libc6 which is already in main.  The security review of libdumbnet was
  performed in bug #1220950.
  
  Per my conversation with Stephane Graber in #ubuntu-release:
-  <stgraber> rcj: can you prepare an SRU of libdumbnet for precise which makes 
it an equivalent of what we have in trusty? (we at least need the switch to 
dh_python2 but the --add-missing change seems useful too, so I'd just make the 
SRU be identical to trusty's current version)

  I will make these changes to make libdumbnet in precise equivalent to
  what is in trusty for this SRU and then foundations can consider the MIR
  to support bug #1275656.
