Package an up-to-date version for Debian

[JulienPalard]

Look like current deb package has not been updated in years, leading to users use a deprecated version of Arduino, and reporting very old bugs like #5822.

Looks like the deb upgrade is blocked by licence clarity: #2703

If you split the packages properly, the licenses are clear to me. Look at the archlinux packages and propose your debian package suggestions. I dont think its a license issue, just nobody wants to package the stuff.

this new folder layout (post 1.8) is clear. Packaging it is a pain, but it was already done. I think that debian can be updated.

@JulienPalard @maqifrnswa
do you know who is actually the maintainer of the debian package?

You should probably ask him to update the debian package and not here.

@cmaglie Please sign the sources #5619 so we can safely package arduino.

Please sign the sources

@NicoHood thanks for the reminder, there is already #5619 to track the issue no need to duplicate here ;-)
