Bug#571875: adopt

Okay, I pushed the debian/ subdir changes into the debian science git
repo.

But be warned: it builds against the upstream at the tip of the "next"
branch of my gitorious repo, 453d23d39c612706.  It won't build against
the released upstream 2011.2 tarball, or even against the upstream git
branches master or next.  (The upstream repo being
git://gitorious.org/qhull/qhull.git, which is why I made my clone
there: to make it easier for them to pull).

This is because those do not have the bug fixes I had to make to the
autotools-based build system.

I could put those patches in a quilt patch?  I wish!  Not so easy.
The upstream tarballs are missing much of the content of the upstream
git repo at the official release points.  So such a patch would
combine my changes with these tarball omissions...ick.
