[Bug 1756195] Re: [FFe] Please merge sbuild 0.74.0-1 from Debian Sid

[Colin Watson]

I have no objections from the Launchpad side.  Our base system is
currently always xenial, and we run sbuild from that, so we aren't going
to be taken by surprise by an upgrade in bionic.  When we upgrade, we'll
test it and make any necessary adjustments then, so you don't need to
block on us.

Title:
  [FFe] Please merge sbuild 0.74.0-1 from Debian Sid

Status in sbuild package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  sbuild 0.74.0-1 brings many new improvements to the tool that
  developers who happen to install the LTS (e.g. developers for Ubuntu
  LTS-based derivatives et. al) would greatly benefit from having.

  Here is the complete changelog (from Debian) for this new upstream
  release:

  sbuild (0.74.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium

    * New upstream release
    * Install dose-distcheck and lintian for the native architecture
    * remove DCMD config value which is not used and just uselessly making
      libsbuild-perl depend on devscripts
    * use dpkg-query instead of grep-status so that dependency on grep-dctrl is
      not needed anymore
    * suppress schroot writing to stderr in sbuild-createchroot
    * check for modprobe in sbuild-createchroot
    * Add missing newline character to a bunch of error messages
    * dose3 failures no longer mask the --build-deps-failed-commands
    * Build arch: all packages by default (closes: #870263)
    * Run lintian by default (closes: #870263)
    * sbuild-createchroot: add --command-prefix (closes: #870260)
    * add sbuild-debian-developer-setup package (closes: #859867)

  Among these changes are things like running Lintian by default and
  --command-prefix which I know I'll personally use.

  I volunteer to complete this merge from Debian should this FFe be
  accepted.

  Thanks.
