I've made good progress in the deb-package branch. Aside from flushing out some logic for filling in versions, package names, and descriptions, I think what's present will work well.

Currently, to build a deb:

1. docker pull schana/python3-debuild
2. docker run -v $(pwd):/mnt/build schana/python3-debuild

The docker image is there to prevent having to download and install the dependencies every time. I did have to remove pytest-runner because it is not available in a package on jessie.

@ori If you wouldn't mind looking and giving some feedback on this approach, I would appreciate it.
