flex 2.6.4-2 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

flex (2.6.4-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Added get-orig-source target, and updated the watch file
  * Bug fix: "flex FTCBFS: executes host architectue stage1flex during
    build", thanks to Helmut Grohne (Closes: #833146). This reinstates
    Helmut's original fix. There was a question about not using help2man
    in the first place. I considered it; but upstream continues to use
    help2man, including it in autoconf. I think Helmut's fix is elegant,
    and saves work as flex's options change over time, and is a smaller
    delta from upstream.

flex: fast lexical analyzer generator

 Flex is a tool for generating scanners: programs which recognized lexical
 patterns in text. It reads the given input files for a description of a
 scanner to generate. The description is in the form of pairs of regular
 expressions and C code, called rules. Flex generates as output a C source
 file, lex.yy.c, which defines a routine yylex(). This file is compiled
 and linked with the -lfl library to produce an executable. When the
 executable is run, it analyzes its input for occurrences of the regular
 expressions. Whenever it finds one, it executes the corresponding C code.
