WIP: Avoid relayout loops in debian-installer (#987587)

Simon McVittie requested to merge wip/smcv/bug987587-refuse-widening into debian/master

  • d/rules: Build udeb with extra CPPFLAGS

    This allows adding special-case code for debian-installer where necessary.

  • Add a hack to clamp text layout width to no more than was requested

    This works around a relayout loop in the Debian installer. To minimize the effect on installed systems, this is #ifdef DEBIAN_INSTALLER.

    Closes: #987587

I don't know whether this is the right solution for #987587 but it certainly seems worth a try.
