fjp pointed out that it might be difficult to find a good way to drop the libdiscover1 from the udeb's deps without hardcoding the deps or a similar hack, so I went ahead and finished my patch to produce a nice clean libdiscover1-udeb and make discover1-udeb depend on that.
Note that this patch removes debian/libdiscover1.shlibs; the presense of that file makes your existing call to dh_makeshlibs do nothing, and I need to let dh_makeshlibs do its magic.. Also, note that this patch fixes the description of discover1-udeb (which amoung other changes means removing the long description). And also, it redoes your rules file to take advantage of debhelper's udeb support. -- see shy jo

-Description: hardware identification library (udeb)
- Discover is a hardware identification system based on the libdiscover1
- library. Discover provides a flexible interface that programs can use to
- report a wide range of information about the hardware that is installed on a
- Linux system. It functions at boot-time by probing the available system
- busses and loading the appropriate drivers based on data provided in the
- discover1-data package.
- .
- This contains the udeb, which is used for the debian-installer
- installation system. It won't work well on a normal debian system.
