Andrew, thanks for the patch! That is a very constructive contribution.
However, I would not keep separate files for Ubuntu and Debian. Already
having just one file that defines which hacks go in and having the
maintainer script generate the necessary packaging files is good enough.
The real Ubuntu delta will then be just one-liners for each hack that is
moved, which is perfectly OK. There will always be some small "branding"
changes between Debian and Ubuntu anyway. The configuration file could
alternatively be a table listing the "hack" and which package it goes
to.

I won't have the possibility to review this or work on it myself for the
next weeks, but I suggest you file a wishlist bug in Debian with your
improvements so we can track it there, and keep my co-maintainers in the
loop.
