Bug Description

Trying to backport 0.56ubuntu2 to precise fails with:

dh_installdeb: unknown dpkg-maintscript-helper command: symlink_to_dir
make: *** [binary-arch] Error 255
dpkg-buildpackage: error: /usr/bin/fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch gave error exit status 2

It looks like that appeared in dpkg 1.17 (precise has 1.16 supporting just rm_conffile and mv_conffile), so should be list in build-depends.
