Public bug reported:

The bionic upstream branch of update-notifier[1] currently FTBFSs.

Compared to the source package in the ubuntu bionic archive, it's missing the generated autoconf files:

All other upstream branches in update-notifier have those files removed, but d/rules was adapted to generate them:
$ git diff upstream/bionic..upstream/focal -- debian/rules
diff --git a/debian/rules b/debian/rules

We should either generate these files at build time, like the other upstream branches, or include them in the bionic repository, like the current package in the bionic ubuntu archive has it[1]
