[Test Case] * Install unattended-upgrades, then check the maintainer scripts to not have reference to dpkg-dev: $ grep dpkg-dev /var/lib/dpkg/info/unattended-upgrades.* ; echo $? 1 [Regression Potential] * lsb_release may fail but that would be a different, bigger issue affecting many other programs. This is unlikely. * Changed maintainer scripts may fail due to errors introduced with the fix. Since those scripts had extensive testing in later releases by now it looks like unlikely to occur, too.
