Setup Debian packaging

Created by: toupeira

Last week I felt whimsical and released a preliminary 2.0-rc1 release of Hamster, along with a very basic Debian package built with checkinstall. So now I'd like to get the ball rolling to get proper packaging of Hamster going again, at least for Debian/Ubuntu. Any help is appreciated since I only have limited experience, but I'd be curious to learn more about it.

@matthijskooijman previously offered his support, but that was almost a year ago so I can understand if priorities have changed ;-) Is there anything I can build on, or would it make more sense to start from scratch?

@tbaugis do you have any other contacts from previous maintainers of Debian/Ubuntu packages?
