Here's the debdiff fixing the regression found by Bryan Quigley.

I talked with the SRU team and it is okay to proceed with the upload of
this fix in Devel and Stable release if waiting too long for upstream to
merge.

In this case, the fix will likely be merge in April 2018 for v3.6, and
by then we might be in a freeze period for 18.04. So let's make sure we
have an healthy sosreport (v3.5) package before 18.04 get release.

** Description changed:

- *** DRAFT in progress ***
  [Impact]
  
  Canonical support team (AKA STS) largely depend on sosreport package to
  troubleshoot system.
  
  sosreport is always in constant development including new bugfixes, new
  features such as new plugins[1], .... that can be interesting to have in
  a support context.
  
  v3.5 is already found in devel release (bionic). We create this LP in
  the attempt to justify the SRU of v3.5 backport into current supported
  stable releases.
  
  [1] - New plugins for :
          * perl
          * boom
          * vdo
          * os_net_config
          * conntrackd
          * ovirt_imageio
          * nss
          * sas3ircu
          * openstack_aodh
          * docker_distribution
          * gluster_block
          * snappy
  
      Plugin API enhancements
          * Plugin triggers by executable name
          * Improved log size limit handling
          * Better handling of compressed log files
          * Per-plugin package verification lists
  
      Updates to 227 plugins
  
  This will also allow us to close some sosreport LP bugs:
  *Docker plugin uses the wrong command for Ubuntu (LP: #1693574)
  
  [Test Case]
  
   * Install sosreport
     $ apt-get install sosreport
  
   * Run sosreport
     $ sosreport -a
     $ sosreport -o <PLUGIN>
     $ ...
  
   * Make sure it generate a tar.xz file in /tmp in the form of
     "/tmp/sosreport-<HOSTNAME>-<DATE>.tar.xz"
  
   * Extract files from archive
     tar Jxvf /tmp/sosreport-<HOSTNAME>-<DATE>.tar.xz
  
   * Look the content of sosreport, make sure the information is accurate
  and valid, ....
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
   * autopkgtest[2] didn't reveal any
  [2] - See Comment #1
  
-  * More to come......
+  * We have tested the package and found a severe regression that we already 
took action to fix it via :
+ Upstream issue - https://github.com/sosreport/sos/issues/1155
+ 
+ and submitted to Ubuntu Devel release via debdiff : 
+ lp1734983_bionic.debdiff
