[Bug 2057716] [NEW] SRU of ubuntu-dev-tools 0.201ubuntu2

[Steve Langasek]

Public bug reported:

[Impact]
This release sports both bug-fixes and new features and we would like to
make sure all of our Ubuntu developers have access to these improvements.

[Test Case]
The following development and SRU process was followed:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevToolsUpdates

autopkgtests will be run for ubuntu-dev-tools as part of the SRU.

The following changes affect how ubuntu-dev-tools interfaces with other
packages:

- there are no changes since 0.193ubuntu4 (the last SRUed version) that
affect interfaces with other packages.

[Where problems could occur]
These are mostly changes already well-tested in mantic.  There is introduction of a few new tools (pm-helper, running-autopkgtests) which pose no risk of regression.  There are several small bugfixes in tools (mk-sbuild, pull-*-source, check-mir, syncpackage) that post-date mantic and could cause regressions but the chances of this are low.  The biggest change that could be a problem is a complete refactor of the ubuntu-build tool; however, I believe almost no one is using this tool.  The most likely users of this tool would be archive admins and I was completely unaware of the existence of this tool in ubuntu-dev-tools until about 3 months ago - I had my own local scripts for retrying builds, and I believe most other people doing mass-retries of failed builds do as well, with the possible exception of Gianfranco who acked my merge.  So it's worth risking some short-term issues with behavior changes, in exchange for having a standard and supported tool that Ubuntu devs actually consume for triggering build retries.
