[Debian-med-packaging] Adding libkmc-dev to the kmc package

Hi Kevin,

Looks good. I just built the package from that branch with no build issues:
gbp buildpackage -uc -us --git-pbuilder --git-ignore-branch --git-upstream-tag=upstream/2.2
[…]

However, the static archive looks a bit small in my build:
[vagrant at debian-8:/vagrant/kmc] $ dpkg -c ../libkmc-dev_2.2+dfsg-2_amd64.deb | grep libkmc.a
-rw-r--r-- root/root         8 2015-10-01 22:16 ./usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkmc.a

It looks like KMC_LIB_OBJS was empty at build time, and my static archive seems to have ended up empty as it was build by:
ar rcs libkmc.a
ranlib libkmc.a

Ok, I have the same feelings about it that Andreas has. I probably will be sticking with quilt.
