Indeed, what the heck -- I do get /usr/share/doc/udev/NEWS.Debian.gz
in the Ubuntu build, but not in the Debian build, but Ubuntu's
debhelper has no difference wrt. debian/package.NEWS installation.
It's also the same version.

dh_installchangelog says that debian/package.NEWS gets installed as
/usr/share/doc/package/NEWS.Debian.

Locally rebuilding systemd in current sid *does* get me the file in
udev_.*deb. So I'm afraid I don't know what's going on here :-( It
seems a mere rebuild fixes it.

Martin
