debhelper updates
...
* Use debhelper compat level v7 when building packages. All changes
since v4 seem safe for alien's generated rules files.
* Use dh_prep instead of deprecated dh_clean -k.

Fix precedence problem that prevented alien from preserving permissions of suid/sgid binaries that are not owned by root.

(Patch by Duane Waddle, on a bug tracking system I don't frequent, that was
about the "expire" it 4 days from now. We got lucky Duane, but please use
the Debian BTS next time!)

Recent versions of rpm (such as 4.7.0) ignore the buildroot setting in
the spec file. Use the --buildroot option to ensure the correct
buildroot is used.

Modify maintainer scripts from rpm files to use /bin/bash rather than /bin/sh. Many such scripts are only tested on systems where /bin/sh is bash, and contain bashisms, which can cause trouble when converting the rpm to be used on eg, the Debian family of distributions, where /bin/sh can legitimatly be dash.
