Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools

A bunch of scripts just import or run things, and fail messily, rather than politely telling the user to install X.

This should be fixed. It can also mean that some depends / recommends could become suggests.

  [ Benjamin Drung ]
  * dgetlp, import-bug-from-debian, suspicious-source:
    Show error messages instead of having the import errors for
    recommended packages (Closes: #613101, LP: #693813).
  * update_maintainer.py: Update Maintainer field if it is set to
    "Ubuntu Core Developers <email address hidden>".

  [ Stefano Rivera ]
  * ubuntutools/archive.py: Rewrite launchpadlib redirects to https when
    fetching dscs.
  * debian/control:
    - Suggest qemu-user-static | qemu-kvm-extras-static. Ubuntu provides a
      qemu-user-static package, like Debian, since natty.
    - Drop Build-Depend on Recommend on libapt-pkg-perl. No longer used.
  * grab-merge: Show help when no arguments are provided.
  * pull-revu-source: Check for the availability of libwww-perl, and print a
    more helpful error.
  * requestsync, grep-merges: Require a UTF-8 locale. (Closes: #613114,
    LP: #553795)
