The packaging was largely broken at the merge commit when we renamed
the sub trees. It was rendered totally useless by commit 11 which
deleted the build system it relied on. There is no reason to keep the
files at this point in the git history.

As I explined in the cover letter my preview tree contains
RPM and DEB packaging. It will take a bit before all the prerequists
for those patches go through the review process. Use my preview tree
to test packaging please.

This is only the first 16 out of 80 patches.

This is not our decision. The distros will follow their internal
policies. I recommend the layout seen in the debian/ sample packaging.
