trying to reduce the turnaround times for local builds, i'm trying to
find a way to inject `-Zgzip -z1` into the dkpg-deb command line.

attached patch introduces a `DPKG_BUILDCMD` variable for this purpose.
(i'm not very familiar with the whole bitbake infrastructure, so i'm
wondering: do i have to add it to the `vardeps` of do_package_deb?)

tia,
tim

Subject: [PATCH] package_deb: allow dpkg-deb to be customized via
 DPKG_BUILDCMD

the command line to invoke `dpkg-deb` is hardcoded. there are certain use
cases where we want to tweak how debian packages are compiled: e.g. the
default uses xz compression, which is rather CPU intensive. for local
builds one might want to pass `-Zgzip -z1` to favor speed over compression
ratio.

we therefore introduce a `DPKG_BUILDCMD` variable which allows downstream
code to customize how dpkg-deb is executed
