One of the things I need to look at, but maybe you know off-hand, is
whether the debian/rules can safely modify debian/control file.  I
haven't looked deeply into the underbelly of how dpkg-buildpackage and
its descendents work to know whether or not that can be done safely.
If not, we might have to have a separate shell script which is run
manually that adjusts debian/control and debian/rules file.  That
would be annoying/unfortunate, but doable.
