Title: Provide property substitution in all standard debian control files.

What does it do?
---------------------------
As standard JDeb will substitute tokens in the ```control``` file with property values from the build context - this is a very useful feature. However, we find that it's often convenient to push some of the properties into other standard debian control files

This patch extends the same filtering of the the ```control``` file to: ```conffiles```, ```preinst```, ```postinst```, ```prerm```, and ```postrm```

Why is this useful?
---------------------------
We have some fairly standard sets of debian control files that only differ with project specific information such as the project name. With this patch we are able to use a common set of files which are configured dynamically when packaging.

Alternatives
-----------------
Admittedly, I could use a Maven filtering for this - however it's nice to keep all the control files together, have them processed identically, and use a common token syntax.
