dpkg-dev 1.9 has a nice new feature in dpkg-gencontrol for udeb
building. Where before a rules file that build a udeb looked something
like:

        # Don't write your stupid guesses to debian/files.
        dh_gencontrol -- -fdebian/files~
        # Register file manually.
        dpkg-distaddfile $(FILENAME) debian-installer $(PRIORITY)
        dh_builddeb --filename=$(FILENAME)

We can now instead just say:

        dh_gencontrol -- -n$(FILENAME)
        dh_builddeb --filename=$(FILENAME)

Of course, this needs a build dep on dpkg-dev 1.9.

PS: I'm moved, and lack only a testbed machine and a better net
    connection before I can get back to doing a lot of work on d-i.
