== Quantal SRU Justification ==
The following pull request performs some misc cleanup for the
linux-backports-modules package for Quantal.

The first patch makes the compat-wireless firmware udev helper file
names version and ABI specific.  We allow multiple upstream versions of
the compat-wireless stack to be packaged and installed.  There currently
exists a potential for conflicts with some of the compat-wireless
firmware udev helper file names due to the files only being ABI
specific, but not version specific, with respect to their naming
convention.  Fix this by making these both version and ABI specific.

The second patch removes all udebs and udeb creation logic from LBM. 
LBM is an elective install and not part of any default server or netboot
installation.  It is therefore unnecessary to provide an
updates-modules.udeb (it was empty anyways) nor have anything to do with
udeb creation in general for that matter.

== Impact ==
LBM is an elective install.  There is no risk of regression for either
of these changes.  I have also built and install tested on both amd64
and i386

== Fix ==
