Part of the mechanism ubuntu uses when copying packages from debian archive. Usually to fix a security related bug in an ubuntu package when the ubuntu package maintainer is slow to respond to the problem.

Eg, if package <tt class="backtick"></tt><tt class="backtick">foo</tt><tt class="backtick"></tt> in Ubuntu 8.04 LTS is at version <tt class="backtick"></tt><tt class="backtick">1.0-2</tt><tt class="backtick"></tt>, package <tt class="backtick"></tt><tt class="backtick">foo</tt><tt class="backtick"></tt>in Debian Lenny also has version <tt class="backtick"></tt><tt class="backtick">1.0-2</tt><tt class="backtick"></tt>, and the DSA for Debian uses <tt class="backtick"></tt><tt class="backtick">1.0-2+lenny1</tt><tt class="backtick"></tt>, this package is suitable for syncing into Ubuntu using a<tt class="backtick"></tt><tt class="backtick">fake sync</tt><tt class="backtick"></tt>. Basically, this is a no change rebuild using the version <tt class="backtick"></tt><tt class="backtick"><Debian DSA version>build0.<ubuntu release version>.1</tt><tt class="backtick"></tt>. Eg, for the above package, the new version in Ubuntu is <tt class="backtick"></tt><tt class="backtick">1.0-2+lenny1build0.8.04.1</tt><tt class="backtick"></tt>. To ensure smooth upgrades from one Ubuntu release to another, you must be careful about versioning. </p> <div style="width: 100%; font-size: initial; font-family: Calibri, 'Slate Pro', sans-serif, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); text-align: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br></div> <div style="font-size: initial; font-family: Calibri, 'Slate Pro', sans-serif, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125); text-align: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Sent from my phone.</div> <table width="100%" style="background-color:white;border-spacing:0px;"> <tbody><tr><td colspan="2" style="font-size: initial; text-align: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> <div style="border-style: solid none none; border-top-color: rgb(181, 196, 223); border-top-width: 1pt; padding: 3pt 0in 0in; font-family: Tahoma, 'BB Alpha Sans', 'Slate Pro'; font-size: 10pt;"> <div><b>From: </b>LP</div><div><b>Sent: </b>Sunday, July 3, 2016 10:33 AM</div><div><b>To: </b>Bruce-Grey Linux Users Group; The Canadian Ubuntu Users Community</div><div><b>Reply To: </b>Bruce-Grey Linux Users Group</div><div><b>Subject: </b>[Bglug] Update "*fake" question</div></div></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="border-style: solid none none; border-top-color: rgb(186, 188, 209); border-top-width: 1pt; font-size: initial; text-align: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"></div><br><div id="_originalContent" style=""><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,255)">Hi all,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,255)">My System:<br>-Version-<br>Kernel : Linux 3.19.0-32-generic (x86_64)<br>Compiled : #37~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 22 09:41:40 UTC 2015<br>C Library : Unknown<br>Default C Compiler : GNU C Compiler version 4.8.4 (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.3) <br>Distribution : Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa<br>-Current Session-<br>Computer Name : tb<br>User Name : tb (TB)<br>Home Directory : /home/tb<br>Desktop Environment : LXDE<br>-Misc-<br>Uptime : 7 minutes<br>Load Average : 0.12, 0.31, 0.21<br>...........................................................................................................<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,255)"><i><b><u>is this a legit update and why is it marked "*fake"</u></b></i><br><br>"p7zip (9.20.1~dfsg.1-4+deb7u2build0.14.04.1) trusty-security; urgency=medium<br><br> <i><b><u> * fake sync from Debian</u></b></i><br><br> -- Tyler Hicks <<a href="mailto:tyhicks@canonical.com">tyhicks@canonical.com</a>> Fri, 01 Jul 2016 13:34:07 -0500<br><br>p7zip (9.20.1~dfsg.1-4+deb7u2) wheezy-security; urgency=high<br><br> * Non-maintainer upload by the LTS team.<br> * Fix the heap buffer overflow in UDF handler (CVS-2016-2335) using patches<br> from <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/p7zip/discussion/383043/thread/9d0fb86b/">https://sourceforge.net/p/p7zip/discussion/383043/thread/9d0fb86b/</a><br> (closes: #824160).<br><br> -- Brian May <<a href="mailto:bam@debian.org">bam@debian.org</a>> Tue, 07 Jun 2016 08:07:49 +1000<br><br>p7zip (9.20.1~dfsg.1-4+deb7u1) wheezy-security; urgency=medium<br><br> * Non-maintainer upload.<br> * Delay creation of symlinks to prevent arbitrary file writes (CVE-2015-1038)<br> (Closes: #774660) "<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,255)">Thank you<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,255)">LP<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,255)"><br clear="all"></div><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><img src="http://i923.photobucket.com/albums/ad79/candive/7d381ea0-1702-43dc-9185-0070677b1956_zpse48e93e2.png"><img src="http://i923.photobucket.com/albums/ad79/candive/PoweredbyLinuxEDITED_zps5856465c.jpg"><br></div></div></div>
