Hi,

here comes a patch that makes debian/control generatable in a save way.
Inspired a bit by the kernel-support way using debian/control.md5sum to
check for modifications and using a debian/control-real target that
fails after successful regeneration to prevent this from happening
during automated builds. There are two templates, debian/control.source
and debian/control.flavor. The main place to "tune" variables (usually
setting new versions) is debian/rules.defs.

 * add debian/control.source and debian/control.flavor as templates for
   generating debian/control
 * debian/rules
   - add debian/control-real target to update debian/control and
     debian/control.md5sum

If these two patches are OK, it should be trivial to get the
nvidia-graphics-modules-amd64 package working again and build new amd64
modules, too. Shall I provide a patch for this?
