When I checked the contents of the .debs from r1490, I also noticed
the nut-xml .deb package is almost empty - it probably needs another
mv command in debian/rules to add the driver.

Arnaud: Let me know if you are already working on this.

In a similar vein, I have been using cdbs at work - it is actually
fairly nice, for the common rule cases. There are some issues with
overriding the default rules - basically, you can't, you just have to
reimplement them - but I don't think that NUT will have much trouble
with the defaults since it uses debhelper now.
