Changed the long dell/oneiric package version back to short version, and
fixed lintian warnings about incorrect file ownership with recent dpkg
versions (as in Quantal).

P.S. It works just fine with 3.5.x, but for 3.6.x, you need to spam broadcom 
for support,
http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=134909572204130&w=2

.. especially since they haven't updated their linux drivers page in
over a year, and this (6.x) driver isn't even listed on their site:
http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php

Better yet, spam them to open source their drivers, or at least release specs 
for their PHY's so people can start developing opensource drivers for these 
cards, because broadcom fails to maintain their own linux drivers
