Creating debian package for python-ev3dev

The page mostly follows http://www.ev3dev.org/docs/devtools/packaging-for-ev3dev/ and is just a mental note for the package maintainer.

Update pbuilder environment:

OS=debian ARCH=amd64 DIST=jessie pbuilder-ev3dev base
OS=raspbian ARCH=armhf DIST=jessie pbuilder-ev3dev base

Update debian/changelog, commit the changes, then

git checkout master
git merge develop
git tag -a 1.0.0

Build the packages for debian and raspbian:

OS=debian ARCH=amd64 DIST=jessie pbuilder-ev3dev build
OS=raspbian ARCH=armhf DIST=jessie pbuilder-ev3dev build

Sign the packages:

debsign pbuilder-ev3dev/debian/jessie-amd64/python-ev3dev_1.0.0_amd64.changes
debsign pbuilder-ev3dev/raspbian/jessie-armhf/python-ev3dev_1.0.0_armhf.changes

Upload the packages:

dput ev3dev-deb pbuilder-ev3dev/debian/jessie-amd64/python-ev3dev_1.0.0_amd64.changes
dput ev3dev-rpi pbuilder-ev3dev/raspbian/jessie-armhf/python-ev3dev_1.0.0_armhf.changes

Note:

Ubuntu has finally updated debian-distro-info to the correct codenames for stable/testing since the release of stretch last February, so I [@dlech] have finally updated the ev3dev package archive accordingly.

Effective immediately, if you need to upload a package to "jessie" please use "oldstable" in the changelog. If you need to upload to "stretch", please use "stable" in the changelog. ("testing" will now upload to "buster").
