Remove unofficial packaging.

Unofficial packaging should be maintained externally since
it is not tested in CI or used in the official release process.

Maintainers of unofficial packages are better equipped with the necessary
expertise and testing resources to support alternative packaging.

-Ansible Debian Package
-======================
-
-To create an Ansible DEB package:
-
-__Note__: You must run this target as root or set `PBUILDER_BIN='sudo pbuilder'`
-
-```
-apt-get install python-docutils cdbs debootstrap devscripts make pbuilder python-setuptools
-git clone https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git
-cd ansible
-DEB_DIST='xenial trusty precise' make deb
-```
-
-Building in Docker:
-
-```
-git clone https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git
-cd ansible
-docker build -t ansible-deb-builder -f packaging/debian/Dockerfile .
-docker run --privileged -e DEB_DIST='trusty' -v $(pwd):/ansible ansible-deb-builder
-```
-
-The debian package file will be placed in the `deb-build` directory. This can then be added to an APT repository or installed with `dpkg -i <package-file>`.
-
-Note that `dpkg -i` does not resolve dependencies.
-
-To install the Ansible DEB package and resolve dependencies:
-
-```
-dpkg -i <package-file>
-apt-get -fy install
-```
-
-Or, if you are running Debian Stretch (or later) or Ubuntu Xenial (or later):
-
-```
-apt install /path/to/<package-file>
-```

-This portfile installs ansible from the git repository, it will install the
-latest and greatest version of ansible. This portfile does not install the
-required dependencies to run in accelerated mode.
-
-## Installing the stable version of ansible via macports
-
-If you wish to run a stable version of ansible please do the following
-
-First update your macports repo to the latest versions
-
-  $ sudo port sync
-
-Then install ansible
-
-  $ sudo port install ansible
-
-## Installing the devel version of ansible via macports
-
-To use this Portfile to install the development version of ansible one should
-follow the instructions at
-<http://guide.macports.org/#development.local-repositories>
-
-The basic idea is to add the _ansible/packaging/macports_ directory to your
-_/opt/local/etc/macports/sources.conf_ file. You should have something similar
-to this at the end of the file
-
-  file:///Users/jtang/develop/ansible/packaging/macports
-  rsync://rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports.tar [default]
-
-In the _ansible/packaging/macports_ directory, do this
-
-  $ portindex
-
-Once the index is created the _Portfile_ will override the one in the upstream
-macports repository.
-
-Installing newer development versions should involve an uninstall, clean,
-install process or else the Portfile will need its version number/epoch
-bumped.
