Historically the package used a debian/control.in file.  That made other
Debian developers nervous, thinking that if they didn't understand that,
they were unable to help out with other unrelated aspects of package
maintenance - despite my adding a note in debian/README.source
explicitly stating the opppsite.  So I consider that a failed
experiment.

But I am open to suggestions on how this could be done more elegantly -
just please let's discuss it *before* you mess around structurally with
the package :-)

(I do *not* consider current packaging style ideal - for starters, I
want to migrate away from using CDBS, but it is a complex package so I
want to do it cautiously - and am not really in a hurry about that...)
