Source: dpkg
Version: 1.22.13
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy =C2=A75.6.31
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]

dpkg 1.22.13 implemented a backwards-incompatible change,
violating Policy (which states the default value is most
certainly *not* =E2=80=9Cno=E2=80=9D) and breaking builds of packages.

dpkg (1.22.13) unstable; urgency=3Dmedium
    - Dpkg::BuildDriver::DebianRules: Change default R=C2=B3 value to =C2=
=ABno=C2=BB.

I=E2=80=99ve confirmed that an explicit =E2=80=9CRules-Requires-Root: binar=
y-targets=E2=80=9D
ceteris paribus fixes the build, so the breakage was indeed introduced
by this dpkg change. Please revert it.
