[Bug 1593699] [NEW] build-depends should include dpkg >= 1.17

[Chris Stratford]

Public bug reported:

Trying to backport 0.56ubuntu2 to precise fails with:

dh_installdeb: unknown dpkg-maintscript-helper command: symlink_to_dir
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 255
dpkg-buildpackage: error: /usr/bin/fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch gave error exit status 2

It looks like that appeared in dpkg 1.17 (precise has 1.16 supporting
just rm_conffile and mv_conffile), so should be list in build-depends.

** Affects: java-common (Ubuntu)
