This was long overdue, allows to access the full feature set of our
kernel for some tools using the Linux API directly.
Packaging mostly taken from Debian[0]

The PC speaker (beeper) can only be managed by one module, and there
are two which could do so. The very basic INPUT_PCSPKR, and the more
advanced SND_PCSP which allows it to be used as primitive ALSA
soundcard, which for Proxmox Server projects, and all modern
workstations is not much of use.
As they both were aliased to the "pcspkr" module name, and used the
same internal driver name (being a replacment of the other), one
would get the following error message when both are loaded:
"Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting..."
in the kernel log. This happens as by default both are tried to get
loaded. We do not want the more complex ALSA one, so disable that.

Allows to mount VFAT devices even if the currently running kernel was
removed before any VFAT, or other FS using the default Native
Language Support module was mounted during the current uptime.
This then could break updating the ESP partitions, which are mounted
with VFAT in a postrm triggered step - so at a time where the current
/lib/modules/... was already removed, and so the NLS could not get
loaded.
While there are a lot of different NLS, our kernel config has:
> CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET="iso8859-1"
So compile that module as built-in.

no problems had been reported with it, in contrary to igb and e1000e
so use the newer and better supported in tree driver.

There where just to much issues with the 4.15 in tree drivers for our
users [1]. The updated igb and ixgbe drivers are compatible with
4.15, the e1000e driver needed to be ported to the new internal
kernel timer API, which is pretty straight forward.

in favor of generated rules.d snippet. this allows calling
dpkg-buildpackage in the build directory manually without setting up the
environment to match.
the top-level Makefile now only prepares the build directory by copying
and patching sources and generating the real files from debian/*.in
the actual build and packaging happens in debian/rules
