This matches what we do internally. I was heading towards making this
a real Debian package. Since Debian is more free and is a superset
of Ubuntu.

I have made basically the same decisions. Target is /usr/include/dpdk
and the library version comes from rte config. It seems more logical
to make the library shared object version equal the major version
of DPDK (ie 2) rather than having shared object and source versions
diverge.

Just updating to 2.1 packaging now, will send patches.
