The problem is that I was trying to transition the Debian package to
support compressed pci.ids without breaking the packages linked against
libpci.  You need to delete these two lines from debian/rules:

        gunzip debian/pciutils/usr/share/misc/pci.ids.gz
        perl -pi -e 's/PCI_COMPRESSED_IDS=.*$$/PCI_COMPRESSED_IDS=/' \
		                debian/pciutils/usr/bin/update-pciids

It is.  Really.

$ wget http://pciids.sourceforge.net/v2.2/pci.ids.gz
--07:29:02--  http://pciids.sourceforge.net/v2.2/pci.ids.gz

So Martin, there's nothing to worry about here.
