Bug#598645: debian-policy: Switch appendix section for dpkg-buildpackage into a stub

[Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>]

Hi!

Here's a patch delegating the deb(5) format described in the appendix
to the man page, as the section is not very complete anyway.

Thanks,
Guillem

Subject: [PATCH] Delegate deb(5) format description to the man page

The information in this section is in any case not very complete,
and covered already in way more detail by the man page.
