    d/control: Add `Vcs-*` headers

commit 4174a58edf9efaed6f35f30853beedc39a53c98e
Author: Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>
Date:   Wed Nov 6 11:01:30 2024 +0000

    Rewrite packaging to use `dh` sequencer and remove the need for `fakeroot`
    
    Known issues:
     * Upstream's build system does not insert a build-id into libauthbind.so.1.0
       triggering a warning from `dh_strip`. This means the -dbgsym package
       does not include debug symbols for that library. It still provides
       debug for other binaries such `usr/lib/authbind/helper`, so still
       a net improvement. Fixing this would probably require patching
       upstream's Makefile or manually compiling the library. However, it was
       not a "low-enough" hanging fruit that I fixed as it.
    
    Remarks on the diffoscope delta for the `.deb`:
     * New control files: md5sums, shlibs, and triggers. These match the
       expected outcome of (now) using `dh_md5sums` and `dh_makeshlibs`.
     * Content deltas of ELF binaries. This is expected. The strip process
       now also removes `.comment`. Additionally, debug links are inserted
       into the binaries. No delta in the instructions/binary code.
     * The Debian changelog is now trimmed (size delta), which is expected
       with dh_installchangelogs (as of `debhelper/13.10`).
     * Delta of symlinks mode in data.tar (g+w): Benign delta. The mode
       is not relevant for the symlink and was caused by tar preserving
       a recursive `chmod g-w` that is now removed (replaced by `dh_strip`)
    
    Closes: #1086628
