A few weeks back I was experimenting with two approaches, but now I don't seem to find enough time to get back to this. So for posterity, this is the naïve approach that just sets -DPackage-Type=ddeb. However, dpkg does not actually respect that for this case, so this has no effect. Adam said that he'd like to fix this in dpkg proper though. (Note that this patch does not do any parsing of /CurrentlyBuilding which we will need for some transition period).
