So that I can get an idea how 'm-a' works, what's the commandline on a
bdi 4.3x machine to rebuild the emc modules into a new .deb package?
I tried these variations:
    m-a -t a-i emc
    m-a -t a-i emc-modules
    m-a -t a-i emc-modules-`uname -r`
but they all failed for various reasons.  I'll be happy to provide the
error messages if you wish.
