Checkinstall had two problems:
1. when it was called without a version (e.g. with a derivation created
by fetchFromGitHub) it would use `src` as debian version, which caused
dpkg to fail
2. when dpkg failed, it would invoke the pager with the log, which hangs
the build
So now
1. the default version is the dummy `0.0.0`
2. the used pager is `cat`
apparently doesn't allows underscores in version strings, so we
replace them by dashes. This is the exact opposite of RPM, which
doesn't allow dashes.

* Added a function binaryTarball to do a DESTDIR build into
/usr/local. Useful for making statically linked binaries. However,
it may be better to do this in a VM (since if you do it in a Nix
build environment, you can still end up with a lot of Nix
dependencies in your binaries, even if you do static linking).

of Hydra builds more distinct (e.g. "patchelf-build-0.5pre1234"
instead of just "patchelf-build"). If the version isn't known,
append at least the revision.
* Propagate the release name of the source tarball to Nix builds.
Useful to provide sensible package names in channels.

* checkinstall: get rid of the RUNPATH in the LD_PRELOAD library so
that it works with native Glibc (e.g. in VM builds).
* debBuild: use our own checkinstall. In particular this allows us to
build Debs on x86_64.

by Pjotr Prins a while back. This could also be used to generate
RPMs for packages that don't have a spec-file.
* Added checkinstall to Nixpkgs. However we don't use our own build
yet because with it "make install" segfaults in a Debian VM, while
the pre-built binary does work.
