debian lintian warnings

[dankamongmen]

saw this when uploading 3.0.12 (https://salsa.debian.org/debian/notcurses/-/jobs/6867258):

that distutils message is upsetting. how i loathe python, always and forever.

[dankamongmen]

i pulled the groff-message entries from override files, allowing me to completely kill two of the three override specs, huzzah!

[dankamongmen]

ok #2832 deals with the python crappage

https://lintian.debian.org/tags/dot-before-repack-count.html explains dot-before-repack-count. apparently we ought be using +dfsgN, not +dfsg.N. we can't change it right now, though, because that'll break sorting. we need to remember to do this when we next release. maybe i'll do that very soon, especially if we make other headway on this bug.

https://lintian.debian.org/tags/hardening-no-fortify-functions.html explains hardening-no-fortify-functions. i think we just need to import CPPFLAGS in override_dh_auto_build over in our debian packaging.

[dankamongmen]

we're down to:

that's from https://salsa.debian.org/debian/notcurses/-/jobs/6894434

[dankamongmen]

anticipated-repack-count ought go away now that we've gone to dfsg rather than dfsg1. yep, it's gone:

[dankamongmen]

alright, uploading 3.0.12+dfsg-1 to unstable.

whenever we cut the next release, uses-deprecated-python-stdlib will go away. i'm not too worried about the others.
