Remove Yada

Goal description

Remove yada from Debian, and remove or convert all packages containing yada to a different helper system. (Note: not to be confused with libyada-*)

As background, yada is a Debianization aid that generates files under debian/ from debian/changelog and debian/packages files. It consists of a single Perl script, roughly 4000 lines long. Problems include:

While supporting the principle that package maintainers should be responsible for technical decisions about how their packages get built, there are better technical options these days for package helper tools.
