dpkg 1.18.4ubuntu1.7 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

dpkg (1.18.4ubuntu1.7) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Add Zstandard (zstd) decompression support for binary packages
    (LP: #1764220)
    - The changes to ./configure and *.in files were cherry-picked from a
      manual autoreconf run because the package build does not run
      autoreconf automatically and the full delta from autoreconf
      was very big.
