I much appreciate your hints, Ben. The fault was mine. After a couple
of days of struggle, I modified debian/rules.real by inserting a
couple of extra directives and compared the generated debian/control
file output with previous ones - which provided me relevant insight to
correct my mistake and generate required *.udebs for d-i. Thank you
again, Ben.


Best Professional Regard.
