build-essential 11.5ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

build-essential (11.5ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * Lists of essential packages per architecture were incorrect for Ubuntu,
    breaking sbuild (see Debian #602571).
    - update make-esslist.sh to:
      . sort packages to allow for cleaner diffs between Debian and Ubuntu or
        across updates.
      . default to `lsb_release -cs` for dist instead of sid, as the Ubuntu
        development dist changes constantly; an alternative would be the
        target dist from debian/changelog, but this is often UNRELEASED.
      . query a list of servers instead of only one; this is needed for the
        archive.u.c / ports.u.c split in Ubuntu, but it's also helpful to
        allow configuring a local mirror (which might not carry all
        architectures).  The default list is http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
        http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports.
    - update lists of essential packages by running make-esslist.sh.
      . clear package lists for alpha, arm, hppa, hurd-i386, ia64,
        kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, s390, sparc; these aren't
        supported architectures in natty.
      . add python-minimal and drop sysvinit-utils and sysvinit on amd64,
        armel, i386 and powerpc.

build-essential: Informational list of build-essential packages

 If you do not plan to build Debian packages, you don't need this
 package. Starting with dpkg (>= 1.14.18) this package is required
 for building Debian packages.
 .
 This package contains an informational list of packages which are
 considered essential for building Debian packages. This package also
 depends on the packages on that list, to make it easy to have the
 build-essential packages installed.
 .
 If you have this package installed, you only need to install whatever
 a package specifies as its build-time dependencies to build the
 package. Conversely, if you are determining what your package needs
 to build-depend on, you can always leave out the packages this
 package depends on.
 .
 This package is NOT the definition of what packages are
 build-essential; the real definition is in the Debian Policy Manual.
 This package contains merely an informational list, which is all
 most people need. However, if this package and the manual disagree,
 the manual is correct.
