[Bug 2134985] Re: ceph-mgr-dashboard renders blank page due to missing JavaScript files in package 19.2.3

Hi Matthew,

I don't believe anything more than the JavaScript files is required.

Many files from the last change in the clean file are not present in the
source package ceph_19.2.3.orig.tar.xz. This includes the following:

+src/pybind/mgr/dashboard/frontend/src/app/shared/components/critical-
confirmation-modal/critical-confirmation-modal.component.html
+src/pybind/mgr/dashboard/frontend/src/app/shared/components/critical-
confirmation-modal/critical-confirmation-modal.component.scss
+src/pybind/mgr/dashboard/frontend/src/app/shared/components/critical-
confirmation-modal/critical-confirmation-modal.component.spec.ts
+src/pybind/mgr/dashboard/frontend/src/app/shared/components/critical-
confirmation-modal/critical-confirmation-modal.component.ts

Why the other entries were added to the clean file still needs to be
clarified separately and if there are issues with it we can create bug
reports for them; in my opinion, they are not relevant to the
dashboard's functionality.

Here is the corresponding debdiff:
debdiff ceph-mgr-dashboard_19.2.1-0ubuntu0.24.04.2_all.deb ceph-mgr-dashboard_19.2.3-0ubuntu0.24.04.1_all.deb

Title:
  ceph-mgr-dashboard renders blank page due to missing JavaScript files
  in package 19.2.3

Bug description:
  Summary:
  The ceph-mgr-dashboard fails to load the user interface after upgrading the ceph package to version 19.2.3-0ubuntu0.24.04.1 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

  Instead of the login screen, the browser renders a completely blank
  white page. The browser console confirms that the server returns 404
  Not Found errors for critical JavaScript files required to render the
  application.

  This appears to be a regression in the packaging or build process for
  19.2.3, where the compiled frontend artifacts (JavaScript bundles)
  were not correctly included in the final .deb package in
  /usr/share/ceph/mgr/dashboard/frontend/dist/.

  Affected Package:
  * ceph-mgr-dashboard
  * Version: 19.2.3-0ubuntu0.24.04.1
  * Release: Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS (Noble Numbat)

  Steps to Reproduce:
  1. On a system running Ubuntu 24.04, install or upgrade to the affected version:
     sudo apt install ceph-mgr-dashboard=19.2.3-0ubuntu0.24.04.1

  2. Enable the dashboard module:
     ceph mgr module enable dashboard

  3. Navigate to the dashboard URL in a web browser:
     http://<mgr-ip>:8080/

  Expected Result:
  The Ceph Dashboard login page should load successfully.

  Actual Result:
  * The browser displays a blank white page.
  * Browser Console/Network Tab: Requests for .js files (e.g., main.js, runtime.js, or similar chunks) return 404 Not Found.

  Scope and Root Cause:
  It is highly probable that this error affects all new Ubuntu packages derived from this source, as the debian/clean file has been modified in all of them. This suggests the aggressive cleaning or exclusion of build artifacts is a systemic issue introduced by the recent packaging changes.

  Development Branch Status:
  This packaging issue is also present in the ubuntu/devel branch. A Merge Proposal has already been created to fix the underlying build/clean logic in the packaging source.

  Evidence:
  Listing the directory /usr/share/ceph/mgr/dashboard/frontend/dist/ shows missing JavaScript assets compared to previous working versions.

  The following command can be used to confirm the missing files (returns empty list on affected systems):
  ls -l /usr/share/ceph/mgr/dashboard/frontend/dist/*/*.js | head -n 100
