I am planning on constructing the control file from bits even
in the default install so that the uml and xen images do not show up
in the control file but are never built, and we get all the "package
exists in control file but not in changes" warnings. Perhaps there
can be a set of mini-control files concatenated together into a
control file before it is read by Make?
