[Bug 1215175] Re: git-buildpackage ftbfs in saucy due to bugs in python-coverage's packaging

[Andrew Starr-Bochicchio]

** Description changed:

  Summary:
  
  The original FTBFS in git-buildpackage was due to a work-around in in debian/rules which exported  DEB_VENDOR="Debian" so dch would act like as if it were being run under Debian
- not Ubuntu. The tests we fixed upstream to correctly detect that they are being run on
+ not Ubuntu. The tests were fixed upstream to correctly detect that they are being run on
  Ubuntu, so this work-around was actually causing the problem. This is fixed in proposed and the patch has been forwarded to Debian.
  
  After fixing this, git-buildpackage still was FTBFS exposing two bugs in
- the packaging on python-coverage.
+ the packaging of python-coverage.
  
  1) A number of embedded JavaScript libraries are removed when "
  debian/rules build" is called, but on the LP buildds that is only called
  when building i386. When, for instance, amd64 is built "debian/rules
  build-arch" is called and the JavaScript files aren't deleted. So we end
  up with packages with different contents depending on the arch.
  
  2) jquery.hotkeys.js and jquery.isonscreen.js were bundled in the new
  upstream release packaged by Ubuntu. They were added to the list of
  bundled libs removed in debian/rules but the patch allowing python-
  coverage to work with out bundled libs was not updated to include them.
  
  Patch in comment #8 fixes both issues.

  Here is a link to the build failure:

  In general it seems like tests assume dch will append the ubuntu
  version, but in the test suite they behave differently.
