Public bug reported:

[ Impact ]

In order to help developers with profiling, Ubuntu enabled frame-
pointers for packages in the main archive.

https://ubuntu.com/blog/ubuntu-performance-engineering-with-frame-
pointers-by-default

The `Affects` packages were missed due to the packaging issues. These
have been fixed on Oracular and can now be ported to Noble.

[ Test Plan ]

Look at the DW_AT_producer in the associated debug ELF file for flags.
-fno-omit-frame-pointer should be present after the fix.

The following scripts can be used as a reference

https://gist.github.com/julian-klode/95818246eaef0ac6a54588f7f368e25c

You can also check the build logs for build flags like `-fno-omit-frame-
pointer`.

[ Where problems could occur ]

* A distribution-specific patch was applied to fix the build with security 
hardening flags enabled.
* The packaging fixes have enabled other security hardening flags. This could 
have unintended effects.

[ Other Info ]

changes in dpkg have been made to make sure frame-pointers are not
enabled on s390x and ppc64el.
