[Dave Jones]

** Description changed:

  Currently, ubuntu-release-upgrader is FTBFS because part of d/rules
  attempts to generate a tarball for dist-upgrader. This breaks when it
  attempts to archive a broken symlink ("NvidiaDetector") which points to
  a directory from the ubuntu-drivers-common package
  ("/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/NvidiaDetector") fomr which it was
- removed in version 1:0.10.3 [1].
+ removed in version 1:0.10.3 [1]. Build failure log from u-r-u is at [2].
