[Bug 2134532] [NEW] dpkg-buildflags: warning: debian/changelog not found. Not setting ELF package metadata parameter.

[Benjamin Drung]

Public bug reported:

dpkg 1.22.21ubuntu6 set --package-metadata directly in LDFLAGS (see bug
#2071468) which requires reading debian/changelog. Some packages have a
failing autopkgtest due to having this warning:

dpkg-buildflags: warning: debian/changelog not found. Not setting ELF
package metadata parameter.

The solution is to copy debian/changelog into the test directory.
