debian-control: Added udev to the build dependencies to have the

debian/local/70-printers.rules: Fixed UDEV rules so that UDEV supplies
the path of the device and not of the device's interface to
udev-configure-printer. Thanks to Daniel Dressler for the fix

266. By Till Kamppeter on 2014-12-04

* debian/patches/35_package-download-fixes.patch: Fixed several bugs to
  make automatic printer driver download working again:

     downloads. pycurl stopped working after the OpenPrinting web server
     has moved from Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04.

     necessity of adfding the driver's Debian repository and added a
     workaround for a bug in aptdaemon interpreting PackageKit's package
     IDs wrongly when installing a package (LP: #1397750).
   o Bugs in the outsourcing of the OpenPrinting request code into
     from newprinter.py into the new OpenPrintingRequest.py
   o Python3 transition bugs
* debian/patches/07_driver-auto-download-configuration.patch: The variables
  for auto-download configuration have moved from newprinter.py to the new
  config.py file.
* debian/control: Depend on python-requests instead of on python-pycurl.

     compared too strictly.
   o Codec fix for AuthDialog.get_auth_info (Red Hat bug #1060453).
