Fix Debian builds on Xenial (#9254)
Adds note about updating dh-virtualenv once we drop support for Xenial.

We can't update now, because it needs debhelper 12, while Xenial only
backports 10.

Fix failures in Debian packaging (#9079)
Debian package builds were failing for two reasons:

 1. Python versions prior to 3.7 throw exceptions when attempting to print
    Unicode characters under a "C" locale. (#9076)

 2. We depended on `dh-systemd` which no longer exists in Debian Bullseye, but
    is necessary in Ubuntu Xenial. (#9073)

Setting `LANG="C.UTF-8"` in the build environment fixes the first issue.
See also: https://bugs.python.org/issue19846

The second issue is a bit trickier. The dh-systemd package was merged into
debhelper version 9.20160709 and a transitional package left in its wake.

The transitional dh-systemd package was removed in Debian Bullseye.

However, Ubuntu Xenial ships an older debhelper, and still needs dh-systemd.

Thus, builds were failing on Bullseye since we depended on a package which had
ceased existing, but we couldn't remove it from the debian/control file and our
build scripts because we still needed it for Ubuntu Xenial.

We can fix the debian/control issue by listing dh-systemd as an alternative to
the newer versions of debhelper. Since dh-systemd declares that it depends on
debhelper, Ubuntu Xenial will select its older dh-systemd which will in turn
pull in its older debhelper, resulting in no change from the status quo. All
other supported releases will satisfy the debhelper dependency constraint and
skip the dh-systemd alternative.

Build scripts were fixed by unconditionally attempting to install dh-systemd on
all releases and suppressing failures.

Once we drop support for Ubuntu Xenial, we can revert most of this commit and
rely on the version constraint on debhelper in debian/control.

Fixes #9076
Fixes #9073

Switch back to upstream dh-virtualenv (#7621)
Upstream have merged our changes
(https://github.com/spotify/dh-virtualenv/pull/300), so let's switch back to it
instead of using our fork.

Refresh apt cache when building dh_virtualenv docker image (#7555)
When we tried to build debs for 1.13.0, the build failed because docker used a
base docker image which had a stale apt cache.

Fixes: #7540

3b476f5767 Fix debian packages for sid being called buster. (#5775)
* Fix debian packages for sid being called buster.

I don't know why the sid images return buster as its codename in
`lsb_release` but it does, so lets just grab the codename from the
distro we pass into dockerfile

Improve Depends specs in debian package. (#5675)
This is basically a contrived way of adding a `Recommends` on `libpq5`, to fix #5653.

The way this is supposed to happen in debhelper is to run
`dh_shlibdeps`, which in turn runs `dpkg-shlibdeps`, which spits things out
into `debian/<package>.substvars` whence they can later be included by
`control`.

Previously, we had disabled `dh_shlibdeps`, mostly because `dpkg-shlibdeps`
gets confused about PIL's interdependent objects, but that's not really the
right thing to do and there is another way to work around that.

Since we don't always use postgres, we don't necessarily want a hard Depends on
libpq5, so I've actually ended up adding an explicit invocation of
`dpkg-shlibdeps` for `psycopg2`.

I've also updated the build-depends list for the package, which was missing a
couple of entries.

ecc0967315 Debian: we now need libpq-dev.
psycopg 2.8 is now out, which means that the C library gets built from source,
so we now need libpq-dev when building.

Turns out the need for this package is already documented in
docs/postgres.rst.

Install the optional dependencies into the debian package (#4325)
since #4298, the optional dependencies are no longer installed with a simple
`pip install .`, which meant that they were not being included in the debian
package.

The easy fix to that is dh_virtualenv --extras, but that needs dh_virtualenv
1.1...
