• We should run sbuild command to create chroot and then install dpkg. For two reasons. First: we want to use the same tools as Ubuntu package builders to handle the cornercases. Second: we want to test dpkg requirements. nushell#681

• File debian/changelog file should be generated based on git history. nushell#682

• Building package and nu version should be parametrized. nushell#683
