** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  Currently sbuild-launchpad-chroot fails to build/run in bionic because of bug 
1892879, where a backport of ubuntu-dev-tools to bionic accidentally dropped 
the python2 bindings this package uses. Since this package has been 
collaterally damaged for months, I propose that we use the same justification 
used for bug 1892879 and go ahead and update s-b-c to a newer upstream that 
works with the python3 bindings. Specifically, I suggest we backport the 
version from groovy to focal and bionic. (The version in hirsute has only 
non-functional differences that would require extra backporting).
  
  Other than moving to python3 (which required minimal changes), all other
  changes to the source are fixes that have already been SRU'd back to
  bionic (bug 1872163, bug 1852677, bug 1858458), except for the addition
  of Vcs tags to debian/control.
  
  [Test Case]
  Test out all 3 commands on all supported releases:
  for rel in xenial bionic focal groovy hirsute; do
    sbuild-launchpad-chroot create -n ${rel} -s ${rel} -a $(dpkg 
--print-architecture)
    sbuild-launchpad-chroot update -n ${rel}
    sbuild-launchpad-chroot remove -n ${rel}
  done
  
  [Where Problems May Occur]
- It's possible there are some different behaviors in the underlying 
python2/python3 behavior that could cause an unexpected difference. I did check 
that downloading via proxy still works fine - but perhaps there are other such 
issues I didn't think to check.
+ For focal, the only diff ends up being to the changelog because all fixes 
from groovy have already been backported to focal. But we need to bump the 
version so that it will be > the bionic version.
