Add debian folder

[dnegreira]

Add a debian folder to build avocado-framework as
python3-avocado-framework package on Ubuntu.
Currently the debian/copyright file needs a review, among other things to be improved before a final commit.

This commit is meant to be reviewed by upstream maintainers of avocado-framework and work on improvements and pieces missing, so that we can squash and do a proper commit at a later stage.

Hi @dnegreira, thanks for this! It's very welcome addition.

It looks like the CI issue can be solved simply by a rebase (this branch is like ~90 commits behind Avocado's own).

Hi @clebergnu, Thanks for your input; I have rebased and force-pushed. I'm also looking for your comments on my questions. Of course, if you have any other questions or concerns, let me know.

Hi @clebergnu Just need your input on the two above threads I have open

Hi @dnegreira ,

I see you're updating the work on this PR! Thanks a lot.

I'd appreciate also a few hints on how to test the generation of the packages in a way that matches your workflow.

Thanks again!

Hi @clebergnu

Thanks for keeping an eye, we are almost there.
Currently, we have a target to push this and get into Debian unstable/testing as well, so that we can get it imported into Ubuntu and maintain the package on both distros.

I'd appreciate also a few hints on how to test the generation of the packages in a way that matches your workflow.

Should I add an entry to the Readme file?
Should I also expand the Makefile.pkg to add a target to build a .deb package, or add a separate script to help build the package?

Yes, and yes! And many thanks!
