[Merge] ~xnox/ubuntu-seeds/+git/platform:drop-package-maintainance into ~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/platform:focal

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Dimitri John Ledkov has proposed merging ~xnox/ubuntu-seeds/+git/platform:drop-package-maintainance into ~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/platform:focal.

Commit message:
Drop Package Maintainance from supported-development-common & main

We no longer require build-dependencies to be in main.
Some of the packages listed in Package Maintainance fall under that, i.e. debhelper pkgstriptransaltions pkg-create-dbgsym dh-*

Other packages are necessory on Ubuntu Developer's machines, i.e. dh-make dput
However, one also really needs ubuntu-dev-tools too, which is universe.

I see a few very obsolete packages in the list which imho we should drop: dupload dselect

Overall, I don't see the benefits or requirements to have these packages in main. Or why we should process MIRs for all the perl packages that devscripts/lintian want to use.

Requested reviews:
  Ubuntu Core Development Team (ubuntu-core-dev)
