[Bug 1699925] Re: ubuntu-defaults-builder doesn't build and doesn't generate depends/recommends in Ubuntu 18.04 and newer

** Summary changed:

- ftbfs in artful
+ ubuntu-defaults-builder doesn't build and doesn't generate depends/recommends in Ubuntu 18.04 and newer

** Tags added: bionic focal perl

** Description changed:

- The package fails to build in artful (e.g.
- https://launchpadlibrarian.net/324067270/buildlog_ubuntu-artful-amd64
- .ubuntu-defaults-builder_0.55_BUILDING.txt.gz), as far as I can tell
- because dh_ubuntu_defaults uses deprecated perl features:

  I'd rather someone who knew perl better than me take a look at this.
