We need to inform debhelper that it will be driving the action using autotools.
edit `debian/control` field `Build-Depends`: add `autotools-dev` and
`dh-autoreconf`
edit `debian/rules`:
* change the default target `%` to invoke `dh` with `autotools-dev` and
`autoreconf`
* remove from `override_dh_auto_configure` the invocation to `./autogen.sh`
obsoleted by `dh-autoreconf`
Add debian build files to enable building of Debian package using for example
debuild -b or dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
Extend the .gitignore.
The debhelper checks show warnings and errors that will need to be addressed
some other time. For some I don't know how to solve them at the moment.
