Comment 51 for bug 1740892

[ARTFUL pacemaker - note ]

pacemaker package doesn't build (doesn't build as is without any changes) in Artful. I suspect the package has been first build in Zesty and then simply copied to Artful when the release was first created (without going through the build farm again). Additionally, no change has been made in Artful since the suspected Zesty->Artful copy so no one could have notice the FTBFS situation before today.

IMHO, the above is the most plausible reason explaining why we have a binary package for Artful even though it fails to build in Artful.
