Title:
  Bionic: debian-installer FTBFS because udev-udeb depends on libkmod2
  not libkmod2-udeb

Status in kmod package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in kmod source package in Bionic:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * debian-installer currently FTBFS on Bionic because
     udev-udeb depends on libkmod2 not on libkmod2-udeb.
     
   * This regression has been introduced in kmod 24-1ubuntu3.3,
     and it propagated into udev-udeb in systemd 237-3ubuntu10.40.

   * See the '[Details]' section for the details. :)

  [Fix]

   * That kmod change fixes a FTBFS with newer debhelper on Eoan and later,
     but it is not required with older debhelper on Bionic. Just revert it.

   * There is no need to "fix" this in Eoan and later (debhelper >= 12.3)
   
   * No-change rebuild of systemd (for udev-udeb to pick up libkmod2-udeb.)

  [Test Case]

   * Try to build debian-installer on Bionic; it FTBFS:
     
        The following packages have unmet dependencies:
         udev-udeb : Depends: libkmod2 but it is not installable
        E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

   * Check if libkmod2's shlibs file contains an udeb line:
   
     $ dpkg-deb --control libkmod2_<version>_<arch>.deb dir
     $ cat dir/shlibs
     libkmod 2 libkmod2
     udeb: libkmod 2 libkmod2-udeb  # this is good.

  [Regression Potential]

   * The fix only changes the libkmod2's shlibs file to include
     an udeb line (so udebs that depend on that library package
     should depend on the -udeb package.)

     Thus the regression potential is limited to the installer,
     and the udeb packages which depend on libkmod2 (udev-udeb
     only, probably.)

     Regressions could be seen as failures to load libkmod2.so
     and/or not finding its dynamic symbols.

   * There is a no-change rebuild of systemd involved/required,
     so some dependency updates may potentially impact systemd.
     
  [Details]

  debian-installer currently FTBFS on Bionic because
  udev-udeb depends on libkmod2 not on libkmod2-udeb:

        The following packages have unmet dependencies:
         udev-udeb : Depends: libkmod2 but it is not installable
        E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

  This regression has been introduced in kmod 24-1ubuntu3.3,
  and it propagated into udev-udeb in systemd 237-3ubuntu10.40.

        kmod (24-1ubuntu3.3) bionic; urgency=medium
        <...>
          * Removed --add-udeb from dh_makeshlibs, since libkmod2-udeb does not
            actually contain a library. (Closes: #939779)
        <...>

      From dh_makeshlibs(1):

        --add-udeb=udeb
           Create an additional line for udebs in the shlibs file
           and use udeb as the package name for udebs to depend on
           instead of the regular library package.

      Before:

          $ dpkg-deb --control libkmod2_24-1ubuntu3.2_amd64.deb
  libkmod2-u32-control

        $ cat libkmod2-u32-control/shlibs 
        libkmod 2 libkmod2
        udeb: libkmod 2 libkmod2-udeb

        $ dpkg-deb --info udev-udeb_237-3ubuntu10.39_amd64.udeb | grep Depends:
         Depends: ..., libkmod2-udeb, ...

      After:

          $ dpkg-deb --control libkmod2_24-1ubuntu3.3_amd64.deb
  libkmod2-u33-control

        $ cat libkmod2-u33-control/shlibs 
        libkmod 2 libkmod2

        $ dpkg-deb --info udev-udeb_237-3ubuntu10.40_amd64.udeb | grep Depends:
         Depends: ..., libkmod2, ...

  
  That kmod change fixes a FTBFS with newer debhelper on Eoan and later,
  but it is not required with older debhelper on Bionic:

      Eoan:

        $ dpkg -s debhelper | grep Version:
        Version: 12.6.1ubuntu2

        $ dpkg-buildpackpage
        <...>
        dh_makeshlibs --add-udeb=libkmod2-udeb -- -c4
        dh_makeshlibs: The udeb libkmod2-udeb does not contain any shared 
libraries but --add-udeb=libkmod2-udeb was passed!?
        make: *** [debian/rules:120: .stamp-binary] Error 255
        dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit 
status 2

      Bionic:

        $ dpkg -s debhelper | grep Version:
        Version: 11.1.6ubuntu2

        $ dpkg-buildpackpage
        <...>
        dh_makeshlibs --add-udeb=libkmod2-udeb -- -c4
        dh_shlibdeps -- --warnings=7
        <...>
        dpkg-buildpackage: info: binary and diff upload (original source NOT 
included)

  
  There is no need to "fix" this in Eoan and later, as debhelper >= 12.3
  has support for udeb auto-detection in dh_makeshlibs(1) -- and the udeb
  line is added to shlibs by default (without --add-udeb):

      From dh_makeshlibs(1):

        Since debhelper 12.3, dh_makeshlibs will by default add an additional 
udeb line for udebs
        in the shlibs file, when the udeb has the same name as the deb followed 
by a "-udeb" suffix
        <...>
        Please use the --add-udeb and --no-add-udeb options below when this 
auto-detection is insufficient.

        $ dpkg-deb --control libkmod2_26-1ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb 
libkmod2-eoan-control
        $ cat libkmod2-eoan-control/shlibs 
        libkmod 2 libkmod2
        udeb: libkmod 2 libkmod2-udeb

        $ dpkg-deb --control libkmod2_27-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb 
libkmod2-focal-control
        $ cat libkmod2-focal-control/shlibs 
        libkmod 2 libkmod2 (>= 27)
        udeb: libkmod 2 libkmod2-udeb (>= 27)

        $ dpkg-deb --control libkmod2_27+20200310-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb 
libkmod2-groovy-control
        $ cat libkmod2-groovy-control/shlibs 
        libkmod 2 libkmod2 (>= 27+20200310)
        udeb: libkmod 2 libkmod2-udeb (>= 27+20200310)

  This also needs a no-change rebuild on systemd, after kmod is
  built/available in archive.
