Title:
  [FFe] Sync version 0.187-2 from Debian unstable

Status in elfutils package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  With the upcoming release of a debuginfod service for Ubuntu (see
  https://blog.sergiodj.net/2022/08/14/debuginfod-is-coming-to-
  ubuntu.html), we need to adjust our tooling to offer users the
  possibility of using the service out-of-the-box, without too much
  configuration.

  I have recently uploaded elfutils to Debian unstable in order to
  improve the way it handles the debuginfod shell profiles, and also to
  preemptively implement support for Ubuntu's debuginfod server.  Now, I
  would like to request a feature freeze exception to bring these
  updates to Ubuntu Kinetic.

  The package builds fine on Debian
  (https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=elfutils), and also on
  Kinetic.  elfutils doesn't have autopkgtests associated with it, but I
  have tested installing/uninstalling/upgrading/purging the package
  inside a container to make sure that these operations are still OK.

  There is a new debconf question that will be introduced by this sync.
  I marked it as high priority because I believe this is an important
  feature and users will initially not be aware of it.  We can consider
  lowering the priority later.

  elfutils generates many binary packages, and as such it has many
  reverse dependencies.  They should not be affected by this sync,
  though, because all modifications were focused on debuginfod-related
  maintainer scripts in the package.
