needrestart 3.6-8ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

needrestart (3.6-8ubuntu1) oracular; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian unstable (LP: #2064680). Remaining changes:
   - debian/patches:
     + ubuntu-avoid-restart-cloud-final.patch: avoid automatic restart of
       cloud-init systemd oneshot services when cloud-init invokes apt-get
       dist-upgrade due to user-data (LP: 2059337)
     + ubuntu-mode.patch: introduce a specific mode when running as APT hook.
       By default we want needrestart to be quieter, restart services that need
       it, and use the standard protocol to notify that a reboot is required.
       (LP: 1987449, LP: 2004203, LP: 2055433, LP: 2055437)
   - debian/tests:
     + control: add missing libc6-dev dependency.
       We're building a small C helper to mock out uname(), and of course it
       needs the glibc headers available.
     + prompt-reboot: mark the tests as needing a VM since needrestart doesn't
       do kernel detection when within a container
     + Modify existing tests using Test-Command to use Tests
     + *.py: migrate off some deprecated libtmux APIs
     + *.py: make tests less sensible to performance issues on the runners
     + explicitly set the debconf frontend.
       autopkgtests set the frontend to noninteractive, but we actually want to
       test what happens with the default frontend to check that the flow
       doesn't get interrupted.
