I have made proof-of-concept patches as a pseudo-MR at [1] (this MR is
against my own fork just for illustration).  Basically, it uses an Emacs
script to generate Debian compatible versions from the builtin package
list, which is integrated with `debian-sync' in debian/rules (similar to
the handling of debian/copyright.in).  I'm currently making the provide
list in emacs-common package which ships the compiled elisp files.

Please review and comment.
