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.
