Remove Debian scripts

What’s so special about this distro that we not only have a repository
with scripts to compensate for the inability of its maintainers to
package and distribute software to our users, but also have to deal
with their incredibly bad tooling?

Also, the instructions don’t work and only waste users’ time. If these
“only exist for users who want to hurt themselves” then perhaps we
shouldn’t have them in the first place, even if “wants to hurt
themselves” practically describes the majority of Debian users.

Closes #106.

-Instructions for Debian and Ubuntu
-==================================
-
-**Warning**: DO NOT USE THESE INSTRUCTIONS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
-    These scripts are fragile (probably rather Debian's fault than ours). They
-    will often fail with weird errors that are hard to solve. They only exist
-    for users who want to hurt themselves. Use the generic instructions, unless
-    you really insist on having a Debian package as result.
-
-Install some fundamental packages with the command:
-
-    apt-get install git devscripts equivs
-
-Now, to checkout the build repo, run:
-
-    git clone https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv-build.git
-
-    cd mpv-build
-
-To make sure that everything is up to date:
-
-    ./update
-
-Install the dependencies with:
-
-    rm -f mpv-build-deps_*_*.deb
-
-    mk-build-deps -s sudo -i
-
-This will generate and install a dummy package that depends on the
-required packages. The rm -f command makes sure there are no previous
-versions of the build-deps package lying around that may otherwise
-confuse mk-build-deps.
-
-If you don't want to use sudo, you can also try:
-
-    mk-build-deps
-
-    su -c 'dpkg -i mpv-build-deps_*_*.deb || apt-get install -f'
-
-You can now build a full mpv Debian package with the following command:
-
-    dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -b -j4
-
-"4" is the number of jobs running in parallel - change it to match
-your number of processors. The file mpv_<version>_<architecture>.deb
-will be created in the parent directory. Install it with
-
-    sudo dpkg -i ../mpv_<version>_<architecture>.deb
-
-where you must replace <version> with the version of mpv you just
-built (as indicated in debian/changelog) and <architecture> with your
-architecture. As with the mpv-build-deps package, you should ensure
-you are installing the correct package and not one you previously
-compiled.
-
-To recompile a new package based on the latest sources, repeat the
-above steps starting with and including ``./update``.
-
-For further information regarding the Debian package, see
-debian/README.Debian.

-mpv for Debian
-==============
-
-This is the Debian package produced by the mpv-build scripts. It
-contains a statically linked libass and ffmpeg (vs. libav contained in
-Debian) from upstream. It is not an official part of the Debian
-distribution. Instructions for building this package can be found in
-the README.rst file in the mpv-build directory, or equivalently at [1].
-
-[1] https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv.
-
-Differences with distribution packages
-============================================
-
-Debian testing/unstable already has a separate official package for mpv, which
-closely tracks the current upstream releases. Debian stable, the latest Ubuntu
-and Ubuntu LTS all also have official mpv packages, however these range from
-outdated to extremely outdated. This pacakge can be compiled on all of these
-platforms and offers either the most recent mpv release or git master.
-
-This pacakge statically links against the latest release or git master of ffmpeg.
-Older Debian and Ubuntu use the libav fork of ffmpeg, and therefore that's what their
-official mpv packages link against. However, ffmpeg is preferred for building
-mpv as it enables more features. This situation is however changing as the
-Debian testing version is now built against ffmpeg.
-
-Since the release cycle of libass is quite slow, even the "release" version of
-this package links against the libass git master. Debian unstable uses the
-latest libass release, while Debian stable, the latest Ubuntu and Ubuntu LTS all
-use buggy and outdated libass releases.
-
-In order to maintain this interoperability between distributions, this
-package must necessarily disable some features by default which are not
-universally supported. These include Wayland support and libfdk for high
-quality AAC encoding. These can hoewver be trivially enabled provided
-sufficiently recent libraries as described below.
-
-On the other hand, this package enables native smb support (to play smb://
-URLs), video4linux2 (for web cams and video capture) and caca (for silly ascii
-art output) which is not present in the official Debian package.
-
-Due to a persistent packaging bug, the official Ubuntu Trusty mpv is missing lua
-support (therefore no on-screen controller).
-
-There are several other features that are disabled in both this
-package as well as the official Debian package because they are not
-widely needed or used. These include openal output, portaudio output,
-rsound/libroar/sndio input/output, sdl1/sdl2, joystick, videoio.h/libpt. If
-you find any of these useful, please open an issue at [3] explaining
-why you think the feature in question should be enabled, and we can
-try and include it in this package.
-
-[3] https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv-build/issues
-
-Building from git master
-========================
-In addition to the default of building the latest released
-version of mpv, this package can also trivially be built from the
-latest git master of mpv (as well as ffmpeg and libass). As described
-in README.rst [1], this is achieved by calling
-
-    ./update --master
-
-prior to building this Debian package.
-
-Additional ffmpeg features
-==========================
-
-All relevant and free ffmpeg features/codecs should be enabled. If
-something is missing, it is a bug, and should be reported at [3].
-Features for which distribution packages are not universally available
-are the exception. To enable the non-free Fraunhofer FDK AAC codec:
-
-    apt-get install libfdk-aac-dev
-    echo --enable-nonfree --enable-libfdk-aac >> ffmpeg_options
-
-This must be done prior to building the package.
-
-Wayland support
-===============
-
-According to wayland.freedesktop.org, "Wayland is intended as a
-simpler replacement for X, easier to develop and maintain". It is very
-much a work in progress, so adequate functionality requires recent
-version of the relevant libraries. At present, this not possible on
-Debian Wheezy. To maintain interoperability, this package therefore
-does not build with Wayland support by default.
-
-If you want Wayland support, you will need to manually install the
-necessary packages before building:
-
-    apt-get install libwayland-dev libxkbcommon-dev libegl1-mesa-dev
-
-The mpv build will then automatically detect and link to them if they are new
-enough.
