packaging: upgrade Debian packaging to build with Python 3

Also drop the explicit "Depends: python" as debhelper will add it.
So, are we ready to ship py3 version as stable?
I know it's planned for 5.2, but I have no idea about the current state.

We ideally produce Python 2 and Python 3 package variants. Then we switch
to Python 3 exclusive in a future release.

For Debian packaging, this could be a bit more difficult, as I believe
we'd need to fork the Debian packaging templates in the repository.

I doubt the in-repo Debian packaging is used that much. So I could go
either way with regards to transitioning the packaging to Python 3
exclusive. Definitely safer to hold off.

I suspect they're just used only by Google and I think we're fine with
internally working around any issues we run into when we switch to py3
(including backing out these patches).
I believe they have at least some small usership outside Google, as a
way for users to have a more recent hg installed without having to
wait forever for a backport to show up.

I can confirm. The in-repo packaging scripts fill well this need for us.
