udeb is a transliteration of micro-deb (since u is the closest Roman
letter to the Greek mu). They are debs that are used in places like the
installer and do not necessarily meet all the policy requirements that a
normal deb would. Generally you will never need to mess with them
unless you are making/customizing a Debian installer.
