[Bug 2002871] Re: Failed pkgbinarymangler tests with debhelper 13.10

[Colin Watson]

I think it would make sense for launchpad-buildd to pass debhelper's new
build option for PPAs, since it's narrowly-targeted and Launchpad is in
a reasonable position to know what server facilities are provided.  It's
true that we historically used `/CurrentlyBuilding`, but passing
narrowly-targeted build options is much neater; in the (very) long term
I'd like to be able to drop the `/CurrentlyBuilding` hack.

Title:
  Failed pkgbinarymangler tests with debhelper 13.10

Status in launchpad-buildd:
  New
Status in pkgbinarymangler package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  To be able to update pkgbinarymangler to address bug #2002845, I
  disabled 3 tests which would otherwise have failed at buildtime. Those
  tests, which were simply commented in test/run, are:

  - test_debian_changelog_truncation
  - test_native_changelog_truncation
  - test_ppa_debian_changelog

  Ideally they should be fixed rather than disabled, of course. I'm
  talking about this upload:
