Hi all,
I would like to propose to remove the deb packages from master branch / 3.0, 
for some reasons:

1. it's difficult to produce packages compatible at the same time with Debian, 
Ubuntu and other derivatives: for example, ATM Debian stable has a tomcat9 
package while Ubuntu LTS is still on tomcat8

2. in branches 2_0_X and 2_1_X deb packages are used to build Docker images but 
on master this has changed: since all is now based on Spring Boot, Docker 
images were changed as consequence

3. there are new components on master (SRA, Keymaster, WA, .. [1]) that would 
deserve new deb packages, but I don't think the effort is worthwhile, 
especially given the reason above

4. deb packages were originally meant as a fast and straightforward way to get 
Syncope properly deployed, but I think that nowadays Docker images (with Docker 
Compose and Kubernetes samples) serve better such purpose, on more platforms

If there are no objections, I'll proceed with removal next week.

Regards.
