------------
The master control file debian/control must be generated before
the package is uploaded. debian/rules contains the debian/control
target, which generates the control file by concatenating the
common templates for it and substituting the variables:
target, which generates the control file by invoking the
debian/bin/gencontrol.py script, which combines the templates from
the templates directory and arch/subarch specific defines file to
produce the debian/control file. Note that this target is intentionally
made to fail with a non-zero exit code to make sure that it is never
run during an automatic build. The following variables are substituted
into the templates:
@version@ Upstream kernel version, for example 2.6.11.
@major@ The major version, for example 2.6

@allheaders@ Given the arch, a list of all the linux-headers packages for the
arch - used for kernel-headers-x.y.z-n-arch.
For each kernel image build the control.source.in template from
templates directory is concatenated with the control.in file from the
arch/<arch> or arch/<arch>/<subarch> directory, and the following
variables are substituted: @version@, @ltver@, @major@, @abiname@.
A arch/subarch-specific control.in file should contain only entries
for binary linux-image-$(version)-$(abiname)-$(flavour) and
flavour-specific linux-headers-$(version)-$(abiname)-$(flavour)
packages. linux-headers-$(version)-$(abiname) package entry is
included automatically.
After variable substitution the resulting files are formatted to
ensure that the only blank lines are the ones separating the
entries (i.e. before the next Package: line).
Normally, the arch-specific contents should be controlled by
adjusting the corresponding defines file.
