They are not listed as Build-Depends since udebs are not installed on
the build system as such. They are downloaded and unpacked to create
the initrds instead. That's why I quoted "build-depends". They need to
be in the udebs Packages file.

As you say there are no udeb sources in sarge (unless it is a regular
source also building udebs). Apart from meaning that amd64 doesn't get
udeb automatically it is also a GPL violation not to have the sources
on the same medium as the udebs. Having the source on alioth isn't
enough.

For both those reasons I think it would be good to make a new D-I rc
release during/after the debcamp and get that one moved to sarge with
sources.
