Debian packaging issues

[djcj]

Lintian reports many packaging issues.
The following issues can easily be fixed with small updates inside debian/*:
W: linux-firmware source: debhelper-but-no-misc-depends linux-firmware
E: linux-firmware source: declares-possibly-conflicting-debhelper-compat-versions rules=5 compat=5
E: linux-firmware source: depends-on-build-essential-package-without-using-version gcc [build-depends: gcc]
W: linux-firmware source: debian-rules-sets-DH_COMPAT line 12
W: linux-firmware source: ancient-standards-version 3.6.1 (current is 3.9.5)
W: linux-firmware: copyright-without-copyright-notice
W: linux-firmware: extra-license-file lib/firmware/GPL-3
W: linux-firmware: extra-license-file lib/firmware/carl9170fw/GPL
W: linux-firmware: script-not-executable lib/firmware/configure
W: linux-firmware: executable-not-elf-or-script lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/firmware.bin
W: linux-firmware: executable-not-elf-or-script lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/board.bin
W: linux-firmware: executable-not-elf-or-script lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/otp.bin
W: linux-firmware: executable-not-elf-or-script lib/firmware/qat_895xcc.bin
W: linux-firmware: executable-not-elf-or-script lib/firmware/intel/ibt-hw-37.8.10-fw-1.10.3.11.e.bseq
W: linux-firmware: executable-not-elf-or-script lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43143-sdio.bin

The remaining ones should be overridden:
W: linux-firmware: windows-devel-file-in-package lib/firmware/korg/k1212.dsp << false positive
W: linux-firmware: extra-license-file usr/share/doc/linux-firmware/licenses/LICENSE.* <<
W: linux-firmware: extra-license-file usr/share/doc/linux-firmware/licenses/LICENCE.* << practical reasons (in my opinion)

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.
Fixed packaging files are attached.
