Ok, I hope its alright with everyone, I removed the control.in.  I can
see using automatic build-depends generation on a package with complex
Build-Depends, but this one is really simple, and I think the
Build-Depends will rarely change, if ever.

'control' file generated using 'control.in').  Since that doesn't seem
possible for 'control', I think we'll be better off by simplifying to a
static 'control'.
