** Description changed:
The package fails to build in bionic, artful and newer, as far as I can
tell because dh_ubuntu_defaults uses deprecated perl features:
Unescaped left brace in regex is illegal here in regex; marked by <-- HERE in
m/\${ <-- HERE distro_release_name}/ at
/home/ubuntu/Desktop/ubuntu-defaults-builder-0.57/bin/dh_ubuntu_defaults line
100, <F> line 1.
debian/rules:7: recipe for target 'override_dh_install' failed
make[4]: *** [override_dh_install] Error 255
+ I've patched bin/dh_ubuntu_defaults by enclosing left brace of ${$var}
+ within square brackets:
+
+ --- /usr/bin/dh_ubuntu_defaults 2017-06-23 03:33:59.000000000 +0000
+ +++ bin/dh_ubuntu_defaults 2020-07-05 04:25:29.909974148 +0000

+ while (/\$\{(\w+)\}/) {

+ - s/\${$var}/$macros{$var}/g;

+ }
+
+ push @lines, $_;
+
+ Now tests doesn't fail, but when I build defaults package
+ dh_ubuntu_defaults doesn't generate depends/recommends in Ubuntu 18.04
+ and newer if there is a folder "ubiquity-slideshow" in defaults package
+ - I get warnings during build of my ubuntu-defaults package:

I'd rather someone who knew perl better than me take a look at this.
