Nut upsdev - Jan 2008 - .deb rules in NUT trunk, on Ubuntu 7.10

Arnaud,

I just tried to build .debs from the trunk (r1254) on an Ubuntu 7.10
box, and it looks like the rules file is installing files to both
debian/tmp and debian/nut. This means the debian/nut directory is
effectively ignored (the nut_2.3.0-*.i386.deb files come from
debian/tmp instead).

I am not sure of the best way to fix it, but it may involve changing
the parameters to some of the debhelper scripts.

There are also some warnings such as the following:

  "dh_installchangelogs: Compatibility levels before 4 are
deprecated."

I will try this again on another machine to verify that it is not a
local problem.

Instead of "build .debs from the trunk", I should have said that I was
building from a tar.gz snapshot of the trunk at that point, made by
"make distcheck-light".

Apparently, the 'compat' file was not being included in the tarballs
because it was not listed in Makefile.am.

I took the liberty of reformatting the list of files in
packaging/debian/Makefile.am so that they can be compared more easily
with a list of files under SVN control.

Also, since the logic for generating libupsclient-config has changed,
I am removing it from debian/rules (it is not generated if pkgconfig
is enabled in the configure script).
