pciutils: NMU to create a udeb package for D-I purposes
In #284110, Colin Watson proposes a patch used in Ubuntu to allow
creating a udeb package for pciutils.
As the D-I team often needs more info about some specific hardward, it
would be nice to have a udeb in order to allow using lspci as early as
possible during installs, especially when some hardware is
unsupported.
So, I have uploaded a NMU in DELAYED/7-day (which allows some
maintainer's reaction), using Colin's patch with two changes:
1) The changelog entry
2) debian/control
I removed the dependency on wget which was removed in the former NMU
and not integrated in Colin's patch.
I also plan another NMU as soon as this one as reached testing, with a
few more changes such as resyncing with upstream which should fix a
few pending bugs.
Some cleaning in the packaging seems needed as well.
