pump-udeb, ppp-udeb

[David Whedon <dwhedon@gordian.com>]

I built udebs for ppp and pump.  I still have a few things to do to make the
rules files behave nicely, but we are mostly there.


pump:
I didn't do anything funny here, just removed the docs and passed it some
different CFLAGS.

$ dpkg -c ../pump-udeb_0.8.3-1_i386.udeb 
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2000-12-17 01:17:04 ./
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2000-12-17 01:17:03 ./sbin/
-rwxr-xr-x root/root     41444 2000-12-17 01:17:03 ./sbin/pump
$ ls -la ../pump-udeb_0.8.3-1_i386.udeb

../pump-udeb_0.8.3-1_i386.udeb


ppp:

I removed all the docs, pppdump, pppstats, that was most of the space savings.
I saved a few k more removing plugins(?), multilink, pam, and ppp-filter.  I'm
not entirely convinced that we want all that out. There may be more that can
come out of it but I'll want to test this before I remove anything else.

$ dpkg -c ../ppp-udeb_2.4.0f-1_i386.udeb
