[PATCH v2 1/4] kbuild: deb-pkg: show verbose log for direct package builds

When the Debian package build is initiated by Kbuild ('make deb-pkg'
or 'make bindeb-pkg'), the log messages are displayed in the short
form, which is the Kbuild default.

Otherwise, let's show verbose messages (unless the 'terse' tag is set
in DEB_BUILD_OPTION), as suggested by Debian Policy: "The package build
should be as verbose as reasonably possible, except where the terse tag
is included in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS." [1]

This is what the Debian kernel also does. [2]
