Public bug reported:
libreadline up until version 8 didn't include a pkg-config file, and so
any other package that relied on being able to find the readline
libraries using the autoconf PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro failed in build.
This has since been corrected, but I've received several reports of
people trying to build dropwatch (https://github.com/nhorman/dropwatch)
on 18.04 LTS, which needs readline, and as such fails. libreadline8 has
been available in 20.04 for some time, and it would be nice to have it
available in the older LTS releases
