BUG#27769 
Cleaned up some things to make building the packages go a little smoother. 
---
debian/rules really does need to be called from the source root.
---
Fixed two problems with the build caused by adding debian to the source tree
---
Left off the debian/ prefix to the Makefile filter.
---
BUG#27769 - MySQL should include debian packaging dir
Changed substitution variables to match already existing autoconf vars.
Generate debian/control and debian/defs.mk from autoconf now, since we run that
to make a source package. 
---
Corrected incorrect variable name
---
Renamed template files to have shorter names. 
---
Moved generation of debian/control to dist-hook so make clean won't eat it.
---
A few final changes to make debs build from a source tarball dist.

+
+  Rotation of the binary logs is now configured in /etc/mysql/my.cnf with
+  "expire-logs-days" which defaults to 20 days. The old file
+  /etc/mysql/debian-log-rotate.conf should be removed together with
+  /etc/cron.daily/mysql-server after this value has been adjusted. Note that
+  the old variable defined the number of files whereas the new one defines 
+  a time span in days.
