1. **Modified `scan` method in `Alien/Package/Tgz.pm`:**
- The method now attempts to read and parse `install/slack-desc` from input .tgz packages.
- If found, the package's description and summary are populated from `slack-desc`.
- Fallback to existing behavior if `slack-desc` is not present.
2. **Modified `prep` method in `Alien/Package/Tgz.pm`:**
- When creating a .tgz package, an `install/slack-desc` file is now generated.
- This file is populated using the package's summary and description, formatted according to Slackware standards.
- A helper function `_format_slack_desc` was added to handle the formatting logic.
3. **Modified `build` method in `Alien/Package/Tgz.pm`:**
- When creating a .tgz package, `makepkg` is now used.
- Package is now named according to Slackware standard naming scheme.

Generated RPM packages provides directories that conflict with
the "filesystem" package. As a result, do not ship commonly-used
directories.

(Closes: #792371)
Add support for control.tar, control.tar.xz, data.tar, data.tar.xz,
data.tar.bz2 (deprecated) and data.tar.lzma (deprecated), so that the
fallback code is in line with current dpkg-deb.
The deprecated members are supported because there might be such binary
packages laying around.
There are some OS like Tizne which use rpm's and build
them for armv7l architecture. In debain nomenclature
this architecture is armel, so armv7l should be
an alias to armel.
