** Description changed: [Impact] There is an upcoming Azure-related project that would like to support Ubuntu 20.04 LTS out of the box, and one of the requirements is the sdbus-cpp library. The library is available in hirsute and bullseye, but not in focal. It would be great if it could be uploaded to focal-backports, so that it can be used out of the box. The alternative for the project team would be to vendor the dependency, but this would also apply to newer releases where the library is available, which means the security and maintainability would take a hit. - One example use case that would rely on this library is outlined here: - https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-endpoint-manager-blog/microsoft-endpoint-manager-adds-management-and-compliance-checks/ba-p/2902346 - [Scope] Backport from 21.10 impish to 20.04 focal-backports. So far Jammy is on the same version as impish - the new one there needs some fixes. But clearly later on we might re-upload a new verions once this has settled in Jammy. [Other Info] The only change needed to get a working build is to downgrade debhelper-compat from 13 to 12 in debian/control. Everything else works out of the box.
