Done.

Now I tried to create a fixed udeb.  I did the following:

  apt-get source ppp-udeb
  cd ppp-2.4.4rel/
  emacs debian/ppp-udeb.postinst  # fix the bug
  sudo apt-get -y -q build-dep ppp-udeb
  sudo dpkg-buildpackage -tc
  cp ../ppp-udeb_2.4.4rel-9ubuntu2_i386.udeb $CDCONTENTS/pool/main/p/ppp
  cd $CDCONTENTS && find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum>md5sum.txt

Then I created the cd as I always do.  But when I boot this cd, the
installer complains about a bad md5sum when it loads the ppp-udeb
component.

Any ideas what I managed to mess up here?
