libblkid: no bcache UUID due to ambivalent detection of bcache and xfs_external_log for regular xfs in bcache backing device

Attaching the debdiffs for X/B/D/E/F for reference.

The package built successfully on all architectures
for all releases considered (X/B/D/E/F) in PPA [1].

The test results are positive: (see next comments)

- the latest version in -updates (X/B/D/F) or -proposed (E) fails
  with ambivalent results detected (bcache + xfs external log)
  and no UUID/other variables are printed.

- the version with the patch/from the PPA [1] succeeds
  with only bcache detected, and prints the UUID/other variables.

The autopkgtest results ran against the PPA are positive.
All of them have a 'exitcode' of zero. (see next comments)

(Note: there's an util-linux in eoan-proposed that needs
work on its autopkgtest failures before this is uploaded,
which will be worked first. Eoan debdiff is on top of it.)

Sponsored in focal.

* Fix approved upstream
* Bug reported and patch submitted to upstream Debian.

Please keep an eye on the excuses page for util-linux.

- Eric

The autopkgtest failures for focal are unrelated to this upload.

- piuparts/1.1.0:

There's changes from piuparts 1.1.0 to 1.1.1 (released a few hours ago) that resolved the issues, as seen in the autopkgtests page for piuparts. Requested re-runs.

- openjdk:

The failing test timed-out on armhf and is reported as FLAKY in the log; requested re-run.
(openjdk probably is not checking for XFS filesystems on bcache devices :)

  autopkgtest [09:28:36]: ERROR: timed out on command "<...>
  autopkgtest [09:28:36]: test jdk: -----------------------]
  autopkgtest [09:28:40]: test jdk: - - - - - - - - - - results - - - - - - - - - -
  jdk FLAKY timed out

- cmake-extras/1.3+17.04.20170310-5:

There's changes in focal-proposed (cmake-extras 1.3+17.04.20170310-7) that address autopkgtest failures, but looking at its test log, it fixed 1 of 2 failures (fixed 'copyrighttest' but not 'includechecker', and regressed 'findgmock'. so _not_ requesting re-runs.
Thus apparently not quite there yet; but anyway, not XFS/bcache either.

The uploads to stable releases are blocked on LP#1845529 currently in eoan-proposed.
It was pending analysis of autopkgtest failures as well, and I provided those today.
(cyphermox removed the tag 'verification-needed' from that bug, so maybe it'll move.)

LP#1845529 is now fix released (thanks @sil2100), and the SRUs for E/B/X have been uploaded.
(The SRU for D is skipped as D will be EOL in 7 days, the time needed to stay in -proposed.)

This bug was fixed in the package util-linux - 2.34-0.1ubuntu5

Thank you!

SRU team,

The autopkgtests regressions reported for the three releases (xenial/bionic/eoan)
were all* transient issues resolved with re-runs (see 'pass' status records below).

(*) The only the exception (not a transient issue) is gnocchi/bionic/armhf,
which is _not_ a regression either as the same error happens with -updates
(see both 'fail' status records below, with versions in -proposed/-updates.)

The updated status (passing tests) is already reflected in pending-sru [1].

Thanks,
Mauricio
