debian packaging refinements

[Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult]

Hi folks,

here're some small patches for making mkdebian a bit more flexible, so it
can be used eg. with an given debian/rules file.

I'm using this along w/ local (adding debian/rules and .config) in order
to build the kernel via usual debian toolchains (git-buildpackage,
git-buildpackage, ...) in a canonical way.

Didn't post the patch for debian/rules yet, as it's likely not suited for
mainline yet. (I can post it, if you wish).

[PATCH 1/3] Makefile: add kernelarch target for printing arch and localversion

[Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult]

trivial rule to print out the kernel arch and localversion, so
external tools, like distro packagers, can easily get it.

[PATCH 2/3] scripts: mkdebian: allow renaming generated debian/rules

[Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult]

Add new environment variable KDEB_RULES for controlling where the
generated debian rules are written to. By defaults, it's debian/rules,
but packagers might override it for providing their own rules file.
