DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_DEBIAN_CONTROL displeases the gods of Debian

[andersk]

As described in  Debian #311724, Debian doesn't like the DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_DEBIAN_CONTROL feature that modifies debian/control at build time. We might consider removing it from our debian/rules files and only invoking it manually with

debian/rules debian/control DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_DEBIAN_CONTROL=yes

Even if we decide not to remove it, we should probably change its value from "1" to "yes" because the documentation suggests that is more conventional.

Below is the code that I wrote to perform this transformation a few weeks ago

for i in `\ls */*/debian/rules | sed 's|/debian/rules||'`; do (cd $i; dadch -i "Remove DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_DEBIAN_CONTROL."); done

perl -i -0pe 's/DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_DEBIAN_CONTROL = 1\n//m' */*/debian/rules

Though one needs to be careful to not apply it to libnss-nonlocal and config-package-dev, since they don't have DEB_AUTO_UPDATE_DEBIAN_CONTROL.
