While trying to make docker build work again, I figured building a .deb and installing it would be the easiest way to get a docker image, however ant debian, ant buster and ant bionic don't work.

I created a gitlab CI jobs and the results with the errors can be seen on gitlab.com. The relevant commands are in an MR on gitlab (in order to get a diff and trigger the pipeline).

Relevant errors:

ant debian and ant bionic

no, debian builds don't work like that. As I said above, I don't know why one environment is different than another.

the primary purpose of the debian ant targets is for releases, to make things work for people building releases. Almost nobody is doing their own debian dev builds.

there's also no particular reason to remove obsolete targets. whats the point?

Thanks, I'll check it out.

the following fix should work for debian-binary local builds, but it doesn't work on launchpad so we can't check it in, never figured out why:

all the copy-xxx targets were experiments

Would it be possible to remove the obsolete targets and introduce one for launchpad? Maybe the one for launchpad could use the dh line without quilt?

P.S Just in case you didn't know, you can use triple ticks or indent code with 4 spaces to have the equivalent of BB's [code] [/code] e.g

```diff
diff --git a/debian/rules b/debian/rules
index f7148533b..a67144cbb 100755
--- a/debian/rules
+++ b/debian/rules
@@ -51,7 +51,7 @@ endif
%:

- dh $@ --with systemd,bash-completion
+ dh $@ --with systemd,bash-completion,quilt

clean: createcopyright
```

the primary one I use is debian-release-tarball as our release process is to build on launchpad, following the instructions in debian-alt/doc/launchpad.txt
