lintian (2.129.0ubuntu1) resolute; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian unstable (LP: #2139419). Remaining changes:
    - Fix building udebs, now that in Ubuntu noudebs is implied profile
      (LP #1918120)
    - Add zst as allowed compression for .deb & .udeb although we don't
      actually ship udeb packages that support zst (LP #1923845)
    - Add AC_INIT in
      macro-not-cross-compilation-safe/build-spec/orig/src/configure.ac
      (LP #1950989)
    - Add -fPIC ld flags to
      checks/binaries/prerequisites/numpy/binaries-missing-depends-on-numpy-abi
    - macro-not-cross-compilation-safe is expecting line one, we added AC_INIT
      so it should now match line three.
    - Ubuntu enables LTO by default, so without-fat-lto-objects is expected to
      fail.
    - d/control: Fix wrong dependency plzip to lzip
  * Skip upstream signature tests that trigger dpkg GnuPG backend crash
    (LP: #2142108)
  * Fix appstream-metadata-validation-failed detection with double-quoted
    appstreamcli output
    appstreamcli's --format=yaml output uses double quotes in Ubuntu but
    single quotes in Debian. Update the regex to handle both styles.
    Also remove unnecessary YAML parsing that can crash on invalid output
    (Bug in Debian #1128262).
