[Bug 1326025] [NEW] Precise SRU for libdumbnet

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

[Impact]

 * No bug here, but a request from stgraber to sync up minor changes
from trusty prior to inclusion of libdumbnet in precise to support SRU
of open-vm-tools-lts-trusty in bug #1275656

 * precise and trusty have the same upstream version, only changes that
happened in between are switch to dh_python2, change of Debian
maintainer and a no change rebuild by doko.  Those changes have been
back-ported to precise with this patch.

[Test Case]

 * Rebuild package and inspect per
https://wiki.debian.org/Python/TransitionToDHPython2

[Regression Potential]

 * Incorrect dependencies using dh_python2 as it guesses them from egg-
info metadata, however the rebuild of the package was good, so this
checks out.

[Other Info]
 
 * stgraber proposed this solution to support bug #1275656 and mdeslaur had no objections to supporting libdumbnet in main for precise.

Original description...

Bug #1275656 is an SRU/MIR of open-vm-tools-lts-trusty to precise; it
depends on libdumbnet which is in universe currently in precise.
libdumbnet was promoted from universe to main for Trusty, the MIR is in
bug #1220950. The only dependency for libdumbnet-dev or libdumbnet1 is
libc6 which is already in main.  The security review of libdumbnet was
performed in bug #1220950.

Per my conversation with Stephane Graber in #ubuntu-release:
 <stgraber> rcj: can you prepare an SRU of libdumbnet for precise which makes it an equivalent of what we have in trusty? (we at least need the switch to dh_python2 but the --add-missing change seems useful too, so I'd just make the SRU be identical to trusty's current version)

I will make these changes to make libdumbnet in precise equivalent to
what is in trusty for this SRU and then foundations can consider the MIR
to support bug #1275656.

** Affects: libdumbnet (Ubuntu)
