They can't be removed. dh_clean needs all the packages on debian/contol in order to clean all the
temporal directories.

We still have problems if you make a "dpkg-buildpackage -B -rfakeroot". We still get errors with no
tar.gz file.

So I made some changes:
 - the tar is created on linux-wlan-ng-0.2.2
 - the tar is installed on debian\linux-wlan-ng-source\usr\src throu linux-wlan-ng-source.install
   (dh_install )

The #327794 bug is about a kernel without pcmcia support on it. Whe need this in order to build the
driver. You can test it, if you have not added pcmcia support on your kernel then no
debian/tmp/lib/modules/$(KVER)/...ko is created... so it fails!.

I've commited all this changes. But If you are more comfortable with svn we can use a svn repository
with svn-buildpackage.
