ok, implemented something like this in a bzr branch:

 http://llama.freegeek.org/~vagrant/bzr/ltsp/features/vagrant-ltsp-controlgen

wasn't too difficult...

essentially wrote a script which sources debian/control.$VENDOR, and
tweaks debian/control.in with some sed scripts to replace the various
values. seems to work for me. comments, code, ideas to improve welcome,
as always :)

live well,
