Title:
  sks postinst uses dpkg-vendor, but doesn't depend on dpkg-dev (nor
  should it)

Status in Precise Backports:

Bug description:
  A recent change to sks packaging uses the dpkg-vendor command to
  determine if the current OS derives from Ubuntu.  dpkg-vendor is
  provided by the dpkg-dev package, which sks does not, and should not
  depend on.

  In order for the postinst to behave properly, it needs to gracefully
  handle the situation where the dpkg-vendor command does not exist.
