Towards a DEB_VENDOR policy

Starting with lenny, a new variable DEB_VENDOR is defined during the build process. It contains a (short) vendor name, to allow packages to build different binary packages for different distributions.

This option was discussed during Extremadura's Emdebian Worksession

This page shall serve as a place for discussing a policy for using this variable, and to collect ideas for the implementation.
