[Bug 1916068] Re: [BPO] Please backport sdbus-cpp 0.8.3-4 (universe) from impish

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
- There is an upcoming Azure-related project that would like to support Ubuntu
- 20.04 LTS out of the box, and one of the requirements is the sdbus-cpp library.
+ There is an upcoming Azure-related project that would like to support

+ sdbus-cpp library.
  The library is available in hirsute and bullseye, but not in focal.
- It would be great if it could be uploaded to focal-backports, so that it can
- be used out of the box. The alternative for the project team would be to
- vendor the dependency, but this would also apply to newer releases where the
- library is available, which means the security and maintainability would take
- a hit.

  [Scope]
  
- Backport from 21.10 impish to 20.04 focal-backports
+ Backport from 21.10 impish to 20.04 focal-backports.
+ So far Jammy is on the same version as impish - the new one there needs some fixes. But clearly later on we might re-upload a new verions once this has settled in Jammy.
  
  [Other Info]
  The only change needed to get a working build is to downgrade debhelper-compat from 13 to 12 in debian/control. Everything else works out of the box.
