[Bug 1687981] Re: Backport packages for 16.04.3 HWE stack

[Steve Langasek]

I don't think we should change around the libxfont and libxfont1 source
packages in SRU; this would e.g. make it more confusing to try to do
security updates of libxfont in xenial if necessary.  It also doesn't
look to me like the version bump from libxfont 1.5.1 to libxfont1 1.5.2
is justified under SRU policy.

I would prefer to see:
 - libxfont source SRU, renaming libxfont-dev to libxfont1-dev
 - libxfont2 introduced as a new source package, which can be the libxfont from artful with a source rename.

For now, rejecting these two uploads from the queue pending discussion.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  *** hwe-16.04 refresh for 16.04.3 ***

  Revert changes to use debhelper10.

  xorg-server-hwe-16.04 needs updates
  - wayland 1.11 (but zesty has 1.12 which mesa needs so backport that)
  - x11proto-core 7.0.31
  - libxfont-dev 2.0.1, which also means backporting libxfont1 (NEW)

  x-x-i-libinput will not replace -evdev in x-x-i-all-hwe-16.04 because the unity mouse config doesn't work with -libinput.
  x-x-i-libinput needs newer libinput, which in turn needs libwacom update.

  Mesa needs llvm-4.0 and libclc, libdrm, wayland updates.

  [Test case]

  upgrade from/to stock & old hwe stack, test desktop usage

  [Regression potential]

  zesty hasn't blown up

  [Other information]

  build order:
  1. x11proto-core, libdrm, libxfont, libxfont1, libwacom, llvm-toolchain-4.0, vulkan, wayland
  2. libclc, libinput, xorg-server (build-dep libxfont1-dev)
  3. mesa, xorg-server-hwe-16.04
  4. drivers
  5. xorg-hwe-16.04
