create new Debian packaging files #30

A new pull request. I've only added new files and didn't modify or delete any of the previous files to avoid merge conflicts.

The build script will now create a temporary directory, copy files into it, build the package in there and delete that directory afterwards.

I've changed the name of the binary package to steam-session since "steam-login" is a little ambigous and the name "steam-session" is also used in the AUR. The source package name is still steam-login.

I've changed the package section to x11, since this package doesn't provide any games or tools that are used directly by games or for gaming (like steam).

I'm using steam | steam-launcher as a dependency because the name of the official Debian package from steampowered.com is steam-launcher, otherwise this package would only work with the steam package from Debian's and Ubuntu's repositories.

You need fakeroot and debhelper to be installed to build the package, you might want to mention that in the readme file. The "debian" directory is stored in a subdirectory ("packaging") so that package maintainers don't need to replace it with their own packaging files.
