The one I started with had hardcoded control file line numbers
for the sed substitutions.  I've changed that to address the lines
by matching the field identifier strings in (most of?) my debian.rules

A number of them might be using Ian M.'s debian.rules scripts as a
sample, and the one I saw had a small bug in the call to sed which is
used to replace =V and =D.
