Title:
  Precise SRU for libdumbnet

Status in “libdumbnet” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “libdumbnet” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [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.
