[Bug 1998904] [NEW] libopenvswitch is not built

[Stig Baugstø]

Public bug reported:

The Ubuntu modifications to Open vSwitch disables the build of
libopenvswitch and libopenvswitch-dev. The modifications were introduced
in commit 3525cd6ed4 at Mon Aug 7 15:54:12 2017 +0100. The commit
message says...

> Drop libopenvswitch for now

... without further explanation.

1) Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

2) libopenvswitch 2.17.2-0ubuntu0.22.04.2 500 & libopenvswitch-dev
2.17.2-0ubuntu0.22.04.2 500. Both are non-existent.

3) I expect debs to be built for libopenvswitch and libopenvswich-dev
when building debs from `apt-get source` or `debcheckout openvswitch`. I
also expect these packages to be available in the official Ubuntu
package archive together with the other Open vSwitch packages
(https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=openvswitch&searchon=names&suite=jammy&section=all)

Build command: `debuild -b -uc -us`
Alternate: `DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS='parallel=8 nocheck' fakeroot debian/rules binary`

4) libopenvswitch and libopenvswitch-dev are not built, nor available in
the official Ubuntu package archive.

What can I do to build the libopenvswitch{-dev} libraries? Let me know
if there is anything I can do to contribute in resolving this issue.
