[PATCH] Deb packages should include the binaries (Try 2 - this time it actually applies)

From: Ryan Anderson <ryan@michonline.com>

The Deb packages were missing a dependency on "build install" from the binary target - this fixes that, and cleans up some inconsistencies elsewhere in the rulesets.

Traditionally, Debian packaging uses a file called "build-stamp" (or "install-stamp", etc) in the main source tree. The initial deb package support for Git tried to move this "build-stamp" file into the debian/ directory, but some instances were missed. That problem, however, was incidental - the real fix is the missing dependency mentioned above.

(version 2 of this patch. I missed an early commit in v1 that made the old patch impossible to apply.)
