I'm hoping that we can get full support for it before etch, so that we 
can get rid of various clumsy workarounds like type-handling and 
auto-updating control files.  The stuff is already starting to be in 
use, but if you choose to use it, you can't use pbuilder anymore, which 
is a shame.

Steal the code from dpkg-checkbuilddeps and /usr/lib/dpkg/controllib.pl, 
respectively.

Thanks.
