Patches are laid out by issue in server-fixup. Squashed in
piuparts-server. I split out dh_install - debian/tmp, and laid out the
-report changes more logically (which led to more cleanup in there).
There are still some mixing of issues in the later patches.

It passes default pbuilder and piuparts tests. There are lintian
warnings for missing piuparts_slave_run|join man pages. I haven't
validated the html.

It's running from a fresh install, without obvious issues. It hasn't
been tested much beyond that. I'm making it available now because it
may be some time before I can get back to this.
