Bug Description
When running in docker in (for example) AWS CodeBuild, the output from `uname -r` can include kernel version that the debhelper.
Debian claim to have removed the offending section in glibc/2.31-14. See: https:/
Please can we have this fix ported into 20.04 Focal?
Full Error:
-------
ERROR: Your kernel version indicates a revision number
of 255 or greater. Glibc has a number of built in
assumptions that this revision number is less than 255.
If you\'ve built your own kernel, please make sure that any
custom version numbers are appended to the upstream
kernel number with a dash or some other delimiter.
