No description provided.

This variable is not assigned to, and so the scope qualifier is not
necessary and may be misleading.
While this may have been well-intended, years of builds have
demonstrated that we only really see deprecation warnings in our
dependencies and rarely catch anything in colcon packages.

We may elect to re-enable this flag in our CI builds, but having it
enabled in the package itself only makes it more difficult to maintain
colcon packages downstream.
We continue to see interference between the deb packages we publish from
the colcon project and efforts to package colcon as part of mainline
Debian and Ubuntu. Using a high Debian-Version value mitigated the
problems in most cases, but was not sufficient to eliminate all of the
conflicts we're currently experiencing.

Using a debian version suffix which falls late alphabetically appears to
give our packages preference by apt. If a user enables a repository
which distributes packages created by the colcon project, it is likely
that they wish to use these packages instead of the ones packaged by
their platform.
Ubuntu Resolute (26.04) is the next LTS release of Ubuntu.
