Mike Hommey 8d30282b40 Bug 1431297 - Build a xz-utils package for Debian wheezy. r=dustin
There were a few constraints in the choice of the version of dpkg to
backport:
- 1.17.20 is the first version that supports the debian source format
  for that xz-utils package.
- versions >= 1.17.10 and <= 1.17.22 fail to build on wheezy.
- versions >= 1.17.21 depend on a version of patch not available on
  wheezy.

All in all, the simpler choice was to go with version 1.17.20 with a
backport of the build failure fix.

That version of dpkg breaks the version of devscripts in wheezy, so the
version from wheezy-backports would be better to use, but we can't
unconditionally use it on all builds, because it happens that
mk-build-deps from that version is broken with the dpkg in wheezy.

In the end, it's simpler to build that backport and rely on package task
dependencies rather than selectively install the package from
wheezy-backports, so we do that. Except we can't use version
2.14.11~bpo70+1 because of bug 1419577.
