Dear maintainers,

In Ubuntu, we are in the process of moving the i386 architecture to a
compatibility-only layer on amd64.  We are keeping cdebconf on i386 because
it is required by base-passwd, but cdebconf-{gtk,newt}-udeb are built from
this source package and depend on packages we otherwise have no reason to
keep around (rootskel-gtk, di-utils-terminfo).

We would like to drop these udebs rather than keeping them around in the
Ubuntu archive and uninstallable.  Would you please consider applying the
attached patch, or something like it, to omit building these binary packages
on Ubuntu?

Thanks for considering,

Do I understand correctly that Ubuntu now builds all packages with the
noudeb build-profile, and therefore this change is no longer necessary
if the package is instead made to respect the noudeb build-profile using
the patch from #983518?

Thanks,
    smcv

That's correct.

Also correct.

Cheers,
