r1655: * Added udeb support, as pioneered by di-packages-build. Understands
"XC-Package-Type: udeb" in debian/control. See debhelper(1) for
details.
* Dh_Lib: add and export is_udeb and udeb_filename
* dh_builddeb: name udebs with proper extension
* dh_gencontrol: pass -n and filename to dpkg-gencontrol
* dh_installdocs, dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installchangelogs,
dh_installexamples, dh_installman, dh_installmanpages: skip udebs
* dh_shlibdeps: skip udebs. This may be temporary.
* dh_installdeb: do not process conffiles, shlibs, preinsts, postrms,
or prerms for udebs. Do not substiture #DEBHELPER# tokens in
postinst scripts for udebs.
* dh_installdebconf: skip config script for udebs, still do templates
