Ichthyostega 797174ef19 Release: extensive makeover of Build and Debian documentation ...

On the Website, there is a set of interconnected pages related
to compiling from source, the Debian package and our DEB depot.

Although these pages have always been superficially kept up-to-date,
the overall presentation feels dated and generally not well organized.
During the last weeks, I have almost entirely rewritten all those pages,
added information about the (now reworked) DEB package, explained the
alternate ways to build from a Debian source package (notably the
`mk-build-deps` for handling the build dependencies, which effectively
the only method which always worked during the last years, since our
DEB package was totally outdated)

Furthermore, I have tested most of the build steps with the current
source trees, repositories and package definition, and finally I
have also updated and polished the front-page of our DEB-Depot
(-> see commit on the depot-Branch)

Wheew ... quite some work done!
