[Bug 2002871] Re: Failed pkgbinarymangler tests with debhelper 13.10

Right, I completely forget about it.

So I've create a new merge proposal.
https://code.launchpad.net/~zhsj/+git/pkgbinarymangler/+merge/437569

It now only strip debian/changelog if it hasn't been stripped. So IMO it
should be safe to upload.

Whether we want to teach debhelper or dpkg to ensure "notrimdch" is used
for PPA could be another upload on corresponding package, as I don't
think pkgbinarymangler should inject that env (currently
pkgbinarymangler doesn't seem to have hooks before building).

Title:
  Failed pkgbinarymangler tests with debhelper 13.10

Status in launchpad-buildd:
  New
Status in pkgbinarymangler package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  To be able to update pkgbinarymangler to address bug #2002845, I
  disabled 3 tests which would otherwise have failed at buildtime. Those
  tests, which were simply commented in test/run, are:

  - test_debian_changelog_truncation
  - test_native_changelog_truncation
  - test_ppa_debian_changelog

  Ideally they should be fixed rather than disabled, of course. I'm
  talking about this upload:
