Support Debian/Ubuntu Style Packages

[behlendorf]

The build system should be updated to support building Debian/Ubuntu style packages.

This was sort of fixed by commit 0f237a4. As a short term work around I've automated the process of using alien to convert rpm packages to deb and tgz packages. The long term fix remains to add native packaging but I just don't have time for that. This I had time for:

$ lsb_release -d

zfs-test_0.5.0-2_i386.deb

$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

I did the DKMS packaging for Debian and Ubuntu here:

https://launchpad.net/~dajhorn/+archive/zfs

This packaging is a debian/ overlay for each of spl/, zfs/ and lzfs/. Nothing in the repository needs to be changed.

Closing bug, dajhorn was nice enough to take care of this for us. There is now a link to his ppa on the main zfsonlinux.org web site.
