Debian package builds provide a root environment for the installation
scripts, since that's what typical installation scripts expect. To
avoid providing actual root, a "fakeroot" system is used where syscalls
are intercepted and any effect that requires root (like chown) is emulated.
However, fakeroot sporadically fails for us, aborting the package build.
Since our install scripts don't really require root (when operating in
the --packaging mode), we can just tell dpkg-buildpackage that we don't
need fakeroot. This ought to fix the sporadic failures.
As a side effect, package builds are faster.
Fixes#6655.
Unlike CentOS, Debian variants has python3 package on official repository,
so we don't have to use relocatable python3 on these distributions.
However, official python3 version is different on each distribution, we may
have issue because of that.
Also, our scripts and packaging implementation are becoming presuppose
existence of relocatable python3, it is causing issue on Debian
variants.
Switching to relocatable python3 on Debian variants avoid these issues,
it will easier to manage Scylla python3 environments accross multiple
distributions.
