[Bug 1887572] [NEW] rsync blocked in -proposed due to configure.sh warning (dep8 test)

[Sergio Durigan Junior]

Public bug reported:

rsync 3.2.1-1ubuntu1 has been blocked in proposed due to a problem when
invoking configure.sh inside the debian/tests/upstream-tests script:

autopkgtest [18:04:18]: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ summary
upstream-tests       FAIL stderr: configure.sh: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target
Exit request sent.

The problem is that configure.sh is being executed like this:

./configure.sh "$CROSS_COMPILE"

in this scenario, $CROSS_COMPILE is an empty variable, which means that
this will evaluate to:

./configure.sh ""

which will trigger the autotools warning above.  The easy solution here
is to just remove the quotes.

I'm working on this.
