[Bug 877218] [NEW] alien creates "debian/" instead of "DEBIAN/" directory

[Goatsly]

Public bug reported:

When generating a build tree with "alien -g package.rpm" a subdir called
"debian/" is created. When trying to build this package with "dpkg -b
package" dpkg is looking for a "DEBIAN/" subdir. When creating a symlink
"ln -s debian/ DEBIAN" dpkg worked.

I guess alien should create a uppercase directory "DEBIAN" for holding
the control files.
