Document and warn that mirroring to a VLAN is incompatible with SLB bonding.
vswitchd/INTERNALS explains the incompatibility:
2. When Open vSwitch forwards a multicast or broadcast packet to a
link in the SLB bond other than the active slave, the remote
switch will forward it to all of the other links in the SLB
bond, including the active slave. Without special handling,
this would mean that Open vSwitch would forward a second copy of
the packet to each switch port (other than the bond), including
the port that originated the packet.
Open vSwitch deals with this case by dropping packets received
on any SLB bonded link that have a source MAC+VLAN that has been
learned on any other port. (This means that SLB as implemented
in Open vSwitch relies critically on MAC learning. Notably, SLB
is incompatible with the "flood_vlans" feature.)
We could go farther than this and automatically change the bonding mode to
a safer one (e.g. active-backup) when flood_vlans are enabled. However,
that would still leave the SLB fallback for LACP modes in place; perhaps
active-backup would have to be the fallback for LACP modes when flood_vlans
are enabled.

Many users seem to miss changes that Open vSwitch clearly states in
ChangeLog. Some of this is probably due to users not reading any
documentation ever, but I wonder whether some of it is because users
expect ChangeLog to be akin to a commit log, because that's what GNU

they don't contain information useful to users.

Originally I intended this as just a cleanup, but as a side effect it also
installs some files from the install tree in debian/tmp instead of from
_debian. This should avoid a reported problem in which ovs-bugtool was
being created in the source directory instead of the build directory (I
still don't see why this happened).

If the "ovsdb-tool convert" call fails, it is likely because the database
