commit b986109863574980a84fdde0f3f8fef4ed517ace
Author: Ben Hutchings <benh@debian.org>
Date:   Thu May 8 03:30:55 2025 +0200

    Build CIS files and keyspan_pda firmware from source
    
    We already build most firmware from source, but omitted the CIS files
    and keyspan_pda firmware because the ihex2fw and pack_cis command
    weren't packaged.  That is no longer the case.
    
    - d/control: Build-Depend on cis-tools, linux-misc-tools
    - d/rules: Clean and build in cis and keyspan_pda directories
    
    Closes: #890601
