Clean method to include udebs from proposed-updates

I've committed a change that should make stable updates (and also uploads
to testing) easier.

From the SVN commit:
<snip>
For builds targeted at testing or stable, set USE_PROPOSED_UPDATES in
debian/rules to include udebs from the corresponding proposed-updates
suite. For details see build/README.

This replaces the hack to include a sources.list.udeb.local in uploads
for stable. Advantage of the new method is that the setting in the rules
file can be safely committed to SVN without affecting manual builds from
an SVN checkout.

It also means the buildds will now use locally defined mirrors instead of
the mirror "hardcoded" in sources.list.udeb.local.
</snip>

I've backported the change to the lenny branch (and activated it there),
but not for etch. I think it should apply without (m)any problems for etch
as well.

Cheers,
FJP

It is indeed a great improvement since it makes life much easier for
stable support. I've also added it to the announcement draft.

Thanks,
