        Hmm. The revision can be passed through the env var
 DEBIAN_REVISION, and possibly pcmcia is aware of that and uses that?
 Or internally $(debian) is used to hold the revision, but I do not
 know if that is exported by make by default ....

        In short, I don't know -- I'll have to look into pcmcia rules
 file to see what they do.
