Description

Currently, Redhat, SuSE and Ubuntu Kernels are recognized in autoconf. It is however possible due to Distribution similarity of Ubuntu and Debian and already provided DEB package infrastructure to build Debian Client packages. The kernel module package directory (KMP_MODDIR) is currently set in debian/rules as "updates", however Ubuntu uses path "updates/kernel". Make sure to unify also this issue.
