When possible, we patch Makefile.am to sed the source and generate
pci.ids at build time.
See
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-xorg/driver/xserver-xorg-video-ati.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/01_gen_pci_ids.diff

When it is not possible to do that, for instance for the vmware driver,
we hardwire the list of pci.ids
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-xorg/driver/xserver-xorg-video-vmware.git;a=blob;f=debian/vmware.ids
