Activating ddcutil support in Plasma in the Debian package

[Sanford Rockowitz]

Hello,

ddcutil has been stable for some time now.  However, the ddcutil code in 
powerdevil is no where near production ready, and should never be 
enabled.  In fact it can crash powerdevil on return from screen sleep.  
See this comment 
<https://github.com/rockowitz/ddcutil/issues/205#issuecomment-832397668> 
from the developer.

Regards,
Sanford
