Campcaster 4 Debian & Ubunutu

Packaging Campcaster for Debian & Ubuntu..

• campcaster_1.4.0.orig.tar.gz - original source; svn revision 3394 from svn://source.campware.org/campcaster/trunk/campcaster
• campcaster_1-package.diff - adds debian/ folder
• campcaster_2-fixes.diff - various patches to the install-system to fix paths
• campcaster_3-debianonly.diff - adds libserial to custom libs and drop the package-dependency on it; this is only required for debian; Ubuntu provides a libserial package. Using this patch on Ubuntu won't do any harm..
