In order to fix this, we'll need to cherry-pick the patches to allow
extraction (but not building!) of such source packages back to
precise/trusty/xenial dpkg.

** Description changed:

  https://launchpad.net/debian/+source/vlc/ is missing Debian branches for
  sid and stretch.
  
  This then also breaks auto-sync of some of Debian's packages to Ubuntu's
  development branch.
  
  This is apparently what broke the auto-import:
  
- pkg-source: error: unrecognized file for a v2.0 source package:
+ dpkg-source: error: unrecognized file for a v2.0 source package:
  vlc_2.2.3.orig.tar.xz.asc
  
  See this discussion about including .asc files in Debian source packages which requires dpkg to be updated:
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2016/05/msg00041.html
  
  Initial discussion:
