[Debian-on-mobile-maintainers] Upstream Efforts

[Christopher Talbot]

Hello,

Per this discussion, I created Debian packaging for upstream mmsd:
https://source.puri.sm/kop316/mmsd/-/tree/debian/latest

Commit f4b8b32477a411180be1823fdc460b4f7e1e3c9c (the commit before
adding the Debian Packaging) is in sync with 
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/network/ofono/mmsd.git (upstream)

There is only one patch, and it removes a compiler flag (-WError). 
It is required to allow mmsd to compile.
