Okay, so the known supported versions are:
* Debian 9 (stretch) or newer
* Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (xenial) or newer
There are a few changes between the master branch and debian/master:
* Upgrade debhelper from 9 to 13
* Drop debug symbol migration
These changes will need to live in this branch for quite some time.
