Title: Add method to create debian packages.

This pull request adds a method to create development debian packages.
The packages are named 0.0.0-dev . This ensures strictly descending version numbers that are independent of the current date and therefore e.g. allow multiple builds per day.

There is *scripts/create-debian-changelog.py* which creates a proper changelog from all commit messages in the history, but a command to quickly create an empty changelog is also documented.

Tested on Ubuntu 12.04.

Multiple aspects of this might need to be improved in the future - I'm still learning how to create debian packages in a proper way.

Please feel free to tell me your feedback or propose ways to improve this!
