Bug Description

Running

/usr/share/doc/ubuntu-defaults-builder/examples/make-example

as specified in the man does not result in a valid .deb package. This is because the package name starts with 'ubuntu', which means that extra restrictions apply to the example package. Since these restrictions are violated, the package does not build.

Below are a number of problems I've encountered when running make-example:

dh_ubuntu_defaults: error: desktop/background.jpg must not be changed for Ubuntu localizations (packages starting with "ubuntu-")

dh_ubuntu_defaults: error: desktop/googlemail.desktop must not be changed for Ubuntu localizations (packages starting with "ubuntu-")

dh_ubuntu_defaults: error: desktop/default-applications.txt must not be changed for Ubuntu localizations (packages starting with "ubuntu-")

dh_ubuntu_defaults: error: desktop/default-session.txt must not be changed for Ubuntu localizations (packages starting with "ubuntu-")

dh_ubuntu_defaults: error: webbrowser/searchengine.txt must not be changed for Ubuntu localizations (packages starting with "ubuntu-")

To fix the problem with the background I replaced the modified background.jpg with the original. After removing all other offending files a package was successfully build.

As far as I can tell all these problems can be solved by simply not naming the example package ubuntu-something.

Indeed, fallout from the recent "limit ubuntu customizations" change.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-defaults-builder - 0.27

---------------
ubuntu-defaults-builder (0.27) precise; urgency=low

  * test/make-example: Call the package "defaults-builder-test", with the
    recent "restrict Ubuntu customizations" change we can't call the package
    "ubuntu-defaults-test" any more. (LP: #957044)
  * bin/ubuntu-defaults-image: With --keep-apt, remove the translations. They
    take a lot of space, and most apt operations will work fine without them.
    (LP: #956894)
  * bin/dh_ubuntu_defaults: Update distribution.ini path to where Firefox puts
    the file these days. (LP: #956899)
