[PATCH] builddeb: generate a changes file from the build

[PATCH] builddeb: generate a changes file from the build

[Yves-Alexis Perez]

A changes file (also called Debian upload control file) contains
information about binary packages, including the changelog entry, the
maintainer, the package list and the checksums.

It can be used by various Debian tools like dput and dcmd to execute
action on all the build packages at once, for example uploading the
packages to an dedicated Debian repository.

Actually cwd during the build is KBUILD_OUTPUT already, so the cd part
is unnecessary (I can resend a v2 if really needed).

This change is also part for my "add source package" patch:
