I've answered on IRC, but for the benefit of any other interested parties: The files debian/control and debian/rules.gen are generated by debian/bin/gencontrol.py based on the 'defines' files under debian/config, the udeb package definitions under debian/installer, and the current version in debian/changelog. You can generate them explicitly by running 'debian/rules debian/control', and other targets will usually cause them to be regenerated automatically if necessary. (And make will then fail, to ensure that we never accidentally change debian/control during auto- building.)
