[Bug 1587667] Re: Import from Debian fails for source packages with included tarball .asc

[Mattia Rizzolo]

with dpkg's xenial I can happily `dpkg-source -x` a package with a .asc
file.  Indeed trusty and precise (?) need to be patched for them.

** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu Xenial)
       Status: New => Fix Released

Title:
  Import from Debian fails for source packages with included tarball
  .asc

Status in Launchpad itself:
  Fix Committed
Status in dpkg package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in dpkg source package in Precise:
  New
Status in dpkg source package in Trusty:
  New
Status in dpkg source package in Xenial:

Bug description:
  https://launchpad.net/debian/+source/vlc/ is missing Debian branches
  for sid and stretch.

  This then also breaks auto-sync of some of Debian's packages to
  Ubuntu's development branch.

  This is apparently what broke the auto-import:

  dpkg-source: error: unrecognized file for a v2.0 source package:
  vlc_2.2.3.orig.tar.xz.asc

  See this discussion about including .asc files in Debian source packages which requires dpkg to be updated:
