Bug#1123581: devscripts: Fails autopkgtests with dpkg >= 1.23.0

Control: block -1 by 1123630

I went to look at this failure.  There is one failing autopkgtest,
`shunit2` [1]:

It says things like this:

   81s  expected:<mk-origtargz warn: No files matched excluded pattern as the last matching glob: exclude-dir1> but was:<using Dpkg::Version->is_native() has been made incoherent and confusing on some dpkg vendors; it is deprecated as not having portable semantics anymore at /tmp/autopkgtest-lxc.qhukk53x/downtmp/build.r05/src/lib/Devscripts/MkOrigtargz/Config.pm line 132.

There are quite a lot of these.  They seem to be error-case tests,
that check for particular error messages.  The tests are disrupted
because in each case an additional deprecation warning is printed
about Dpkg::Version->is_native().

In #1123630 I have asked the dpkg maintainer to reconsider this new
warning.  If we /were/ to make a code change to devscripts, it's not
clear what devscripts ought to do instead.  The only option I thought
of so far is to do an ad-hoc, open-coded, m/-/ on the version string.
I suggest we wait for guidance from the dpkg maintainer.

It's hard to see the wood for the trees, but I think this is the only
kind of failure.

Ian.
