FWIW, I disagree. Only the separate udebs/packages have to be
autobuildable.

This is only a convenience script for developers. It puts the generated
udebs in installer/build/localudebs/, where they should _not_ go for
a production build. The production build should fetch the udebs from
an apt-gettable repository.
