Comment:

 DEB packaging is now implemented via CMake/Cpack on branch `topic/jsiwek
 /deb-packaging` in the bro, broctl, and broccoli repositories.

 Extra points not covered in the original outline of how it was supposed to
 work:
 * configuration files had to be explicitly provided via a `conffiles` file
 (differs from how RPMs are done)
 * the `dpkg-shlibdeps` command is required to be installed (provided by
 dpkg-dev package)
 * CMake/CPack don't always include empty directories that are supposed to
 be installed by a package, so the post install script now ensures they get
 created
