As discussed, ubuntu-report is now using its own upstream vendored dependencies
corresponding to the ancient build-deps here. This is what upstream is already
testing against.
debian/copyright is updated (grepping manually for copyrights, as per Matthias'
remark) and build system updated in ubuntu-report 1.0.9.
As nesting vendor isn't something that Go is going to support for long
and isn't part of best practice, I kept the deps listing on the "golang-
github-ubuntu-ubuntu-report-dev" package so that golang devs have them
available and ensure the vendor isn't shipped in that source package.
Note thus that "golang-github-ubuntu-ubuntu-report-dev" should still be
kept in main.
I think there is some work needed to ensure that this is written down in the
MIR requirement so that both MIR team and requesters are aware about it.
Also, the check-mir tool needs update to cope with that case.

Title:
[MIR] ubuntu-report: send telemetry data to ubuntu server
Status in ubuntu-report package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Note that only the C library ("libsysmetrics1") and the command line
("ubuntu-report") packages are needed in main (we should also promote
"libsysmetrics-dev" package, even if not necessary). We don't need the
Go API "golang-github-ubuntu-ubuntu-report-dev" which has many go
package dependencies in universe.
[Availability]
Available and built on all archs.
[Rationale]
We want to provide telemetry upload features, collected by ubiquity,
do-release-upgrader and that package in ubnutu 18.04. see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1755456 for more
rationales and details.
[Security]
No security issue reported, as brand new package.
The package do a POST message over https to an ubuntu server, data being sent
are really limited to garantee anynomous informations.
See example of what is sent on https://github.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-report README.
[Quality assurance]
The canonical desktop team is the upstream maintainer and will continue
maintening it.
Upstream has CI built-in on every commit + coverage report. The package build
and runs (currently) 243 tests from unit to integration tests. Autopkgtests
ensuring that building works and tests still pass is also provided.
In addition the documentation and C API are continously strongly
tested (with examples extracted from the documentation, built, linked
against a on-demand generated C library, and tests ran against it).
[Dependencies]
Upstream is using a vendor/ directory, but the ubuntu package remove it on
build and use the distribution packaged build-deps equivalent.
No runtime dep in the 3 packages that needs to be promoted.
[Standards compliance]
Package follow latest debian packaging standard compliant. No lintian
override files, and binaries/packages follows Debian standard FHS. Note that
there is no .symbols file as the generated C API export internal symbols
(starting with _) which names contains a hash dependant of the source file, and
per arch specific. The exported symbols from the public API have a stable name
though: https://godoc.org/github.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-report/pkg/sysmetrics/C
[Maintenance]
Canonical desktop team being the usptream and downstream maintainer, strongly
backed by tests, will follow bugs and maintenance.
