packages not in there didn't build with a "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot"
as an unpriviledged user. i don't have pbuilder up and working yet
(need to make some more space for it...), so it could also mean that
i don't have the build-depends for the package installed, or that the
build-depends line is incorrect.

if no one jumps on it in a couple days, i'll take it, since i need to

i really think it ought to go with something else. i think the control
file alone would be bigger than the script...

i know the stock e100 support that comes in the kernel has issues that
are resolved with the non free module package... maybe this is the same?

okay. i'll pretty up my build script and add a link to regularly
updated output.
