dpkg 1.22.5ubuntu2 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

dpkg (1.22.5ubuntu2) noble; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - Change native source version/format mismatch errors into warnings
      until the dust settles on Debian bug 737634 about override options.
    - Add DPKG_UNTRANSLATED_MESSAGES environment check so that higher-level
      tools can get untranslated dpkg terminal log messages while at the
      same time having translated debconf prompts.
    - Map unqualified package names of multiarch-same packages to the native
      arch instead of throwing an error, so that we don't break on upgrade
      when there are unqualified names stored in the dpkg trigger database.
    - Apply a workaround from mvo to consider ^rc packages as multiarch,
      during the dpkg consistency checks. (see LP: 1015567 and 1057367).
    - dpkg-gencontrol: Fix Package-Type override handling for ddeb support.
    - scripts/Dpkg/Vendor/Ubuntu.pm, scripts/dpkg-buildpackage.pl: set
      'nocheck' in build options by default on Ubuntu/riscv64.  Overridable
      in debian/rules with
      'DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS := $(filter-out nocheck,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS))'.
    - dpkg-dev: Depend on lto-disabled-list.
    - dpkg-buildflags: Read package source names from lto-disabled-list,
      to build without lto optimizations. When adding a source package to the
      list, please also file a launchpad issue and tag it with 'lto'.
    - scripts/Dpkg/Vendor/Ubuntu.pm: set 'noudeb' build profile by
      default. Override this by exporting DEB_BUILD_PROFILE='!noudeb' which
      will be stripped, and thus building with udebs.
    - build: Switch default dpkg-deb compression from xz to zstd.
      Keep compressing dpkg.deb with xz to help bootstrapping on non-Ubuntu
      systems.
    - set default zstd compression level to 19
    - scripts/Dpkg/Vendor/Debian.pm: Always include "-fdebug-prefix-map"
      to build flags.  Map path to "/usr/src/PKGNAME-PKGVER" instead of
      ".", honouring the DWARF standard which prohibits relative paths
      in DW_AT_comp_dir.
    - scripts/{mk/buildflags.mk,t.mk}: Add support for DEB_BUILD_DEBUGPATH.
    - man/dpkg-buildflags.pod: Document new behaviour of "fdebugmap" and
      new DEB_BUILD_DEBUGPATH variable.
    - Disable -fstack-clash-protection on armhf since it causes crashes
    - dpkg-buildflags: Add a new feature "framepointer" in the "qa" area.
    - Turn on the use of frame pointers by default on 64bit architectures.
    - Update _FORTIFY_SOURCE documentation.
    - Update Dpkg_BuildFlags test case.
    - Fix debian/rules duplicate invocations of dh_builddeb
    - lib/dpkg/compress.c: clean up override of the default zstd compression
      level
    - dpkg-buildflags: Explicitly turn off hardening flags when requested.
    - Restore manpage delta, incorrectly dropped in 1.22.4ubuntu1, around
      FORTIFY_LEVEL, dpkg-buildflags fixdebugpath, and the zstd default
      compression level.

dpkg: Debian package management system

 This package provides the low-level infrastructure for handling the
 installation and removal of Debian software packages.
 .
 For Debian package development tools, install dpkg-dev.

dpkg-dbgsym: debug symbols for dpkg
dpkg-dev: Debian package development tools

 This package provides the development tools (including dpkg-source)
 required to unpack, build and upload Debian source packages.
 .
 Most Debian source packages will require additional tools to build;
 for example, most packages need make and the C compiler gcc.

dselect: Debian package management front-end

 dselect is a high-level interface for managing the installation and
 removal of Debian software packages.
 .
 Many users find dselect intimidating and new users may prefer to use
 apt-based user interfaces.

libdpkg-dev: Debian package management static library

 This package provides the header files and static library necessary to
 develop software using libdpkg, the same library used internally by dpkg.

 Note though, that the API is to be considered volatile, and might change
 at any time, use at your own risk.
