src:steam doesn't show up on merges.ubuntu.com because of different versioning, but this was fixed in Debian, and needs to be merged.

I added the Debian bug here.

I have uploaded the merge from Debian and it should autoclose this bug once it has migrated.

Please reopen this if that is not the case.

This bug was fixed in the package steam - 1:1.0.0.54+repack-5ubuntu1

---------------
steam (1:1.0.0.54+repack-5ubuntu1) bionic; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian Sid (LP: #1752198). Remaining changes:
    - Add an epoch to the version number.
    - Add a steam-installer package that depends on steam and contains
      appstream metadata to try to allow Steam to be installable via the
      default Software app.
    - Drop debconf question because that is not supported by gnome-software.

steam (1.0.0.54-5) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Update to debhelper 11.
  * Recommend nvidia-driver-libs-i386 (closes: #839592).
  * Add German translation to the desktop file (closes: #889733).
    - Thanks to Ronny Standtke.

steam (1.0.0.54-4) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Team upload
  * Depend on libgl1-mesa-dri (>= 17.3) | libtxc-dxtn0 now that S3TC
    support is no longer patent-encumbered and has been enabled in Mesa
    (Closes: #889987)
    - The alternative dependency can be removed if backports to older
      suites are no longer interesting.

steam (1.0.0.54-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Team upload.
  * Set DBUS_FATAL_WARNINGS environment variable to 0, working around
    versions of SDL that use the libdbus API incorrectly when ibus is
    detected. (Closes: #882607)
  * d/copyright: Refer to the https version of copyright-format
  * d/control: Elevate Priority from extra to optional, following the
    deprecation of extra in Policy v4.0.1
  * Update Standards-Version to 4.1.3 (no further changes required)
