* QA upload.
* Bump source format to 3.0 (native).

* Allow non authenticated installation from apt-build repository. Closes:
#316572, #369173
* Added new cpu-type profiles to debconf templates.
* Changed default make option in template (-j`cpu_cores`). Set question
priority to "high".
* debian/dirs: Removed due to its redundancy.
* Prevent empty directory for build_dir and repository_dir (use loop).
Closes: #511853
* Move debconf-only related content from postinst to config file and pimp
debconf stuff (configuration file handling).
