Add the ability to build deb package the Debian way #57

Since freight utility is specific to Debian/Ubuntu distros, it's a good idea to use Debian tools for building deb packages instead of FPM.

FPM is no more a dependency. You need to install only the usual debian building tools.
No root rights needed, your system is untouched.
Tests are disabled for building a deb package.
Creating deb package with FPM still works.

I tested this PR and it works as advertised. The changes are also well-isolated and don't break anything. Even the old fpm-based build ("make build") still works. If we ever want to build RPM packages we can still use FPM for it. Overall I'm willing to merge this as-is.

@mmoll, @domcleal : any comments?

Fine by me, happy to replace fpm with native packages.
