Code review comment for lp:~afrantzis/mir/automate-package-abi-versioning

I expect this would be NAKed by the distro team.

The ‘traditional’ way this is done is in the clean: (so, override_dh_clean) target; this ensures that it's run before generating the source package. Currently When debian/control autogeneration is done at all it's done to populate a relatively contained field, such as Uploaders:.

Although it's autogenerated we should still have debian/control in source control.

As a distro packager I would not do this, but the “upstreams contain packaging and automatically land in the distro” world is still strange and it seems like this might be reasonable for us to do.

Maybe this is better off as something in tools/ to manually run when necessary?
