Good work.  Sorry it took so long before I found time to test it.
Here is the initial test report:

When I try to build using these udebs, I ran into this:

  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    discover-udeb: Depends: libexpat1 (>= 1.95.6)

I had to install the libexpat1 package in my build directory to get
past this problem.

Next problem was missing libdiscover.so.2.  I solved this by
installing libdiscover2.

Next was failure to find -lexpat.  Installing libexpat1-dev got me
past that problem.

Then I got stuck with this message:

  [...]
  532 symbols, 40 unresolved
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/mklibs", line 434, in ?
      raise "Unresolvable symbol " + symbol
  Unresolvable symbol discover_device_get_model_id
  make: *** [cdrom-tree-stamp] Error 1

I got a bit further by installing libdiscover2-pic, but hit another
missing symbol.

  571 symbols, 27 unresolved
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/mklibs", line 434, in ?
      raise "Unresolvable symbol " + symbol
  Unresolvable symbol _discover_get_ata_raw
  make: *** [cdrom-tree-stamp] Error 1

I tried to install the new libdiscover-dev to solve it, but it did not
help.

Any idea how I should proceed from here?
