packaging: "make deb" no longer fails Release 4.7 rationalized the layout of the build scripts. Unfortunately, while "make docker-ubuntu-*" and "make docker-debian-*" worked as expected, "make deb" was broken. Before this change "make deb" was failing with the following error: You are not inside a Mercurial repository! Or, after the latest changes: You are inside <fullpath>, which is not the root of a Mercurial repository Moreover, when "make deb" failed, the cleanup routine deleted the wrong directory (contrib/packaging/debian instead of <reporoot>/debian) resulting in a corrupted working copy that needed to be hg revert-ed. After this change the docker targets continue to work, and the deb one is able to finish.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
