Refresh of acct packaging



Hi Team,

Thanks to Charles for supporting my effort to deal with
serious/important issues in acct through the freeze! As a side-effect of
that we now also have an autopkgtest which should help with future work.

I have a stack of further fixes pending review in salsa [1] that closes
four more bugs. There's a prospective changelog in the mix but
essentially the changes boil down to these five areas:

 1) Inadequate systemd integration.
 2) Utterly broken and dated initscript.
 3) Roll-your-own log rotation that was better suited to a logrotate
    drop-in (these top three go together).
 4) Documentation patches that amounted to de facto maintainer-supplied
    man pages (now explicitly so, and therefore more transparent and
    easier to manage) or which patched generated files, sometimes
    ineffectively.
 5) Code fixes (including t64-related) thrown up by the C23 FTBFS bug
    which is presumably due to be escalated.

There is futher work that could be done but I would rather consolidate
the work done so far first. If you like my contributions perhaps you
could consider extending repo rights?

Thanks,

Andrew
