This is a bit weird. Whatever changes I make to debian/control of fsl
package are lost when I do "debuild -us -uc". I think it is because
the package uses dh_gencontrol in the debian/rules. Can I simply
remove that or does it serve a greater purpose?

Sorry if this is a trivial question. I am still learning the ropes
here and I am not the original maintainer of fsl. Just trying to
provide two more hands for the octave transition.
