The builddeb script has some hardcoded references to Linux version 2.6
which is ancient. Drop Provides as the virtual packages provided are not
useful anymore. Leave the Provides for linux-kernel-headers, as someone
might still be referring to it.

While at it, updated copyright date and drop Standards-Version:

Hi Riku,


The merge windows will be open shortly,
so I'd like to apply the first two.

Could you add some comments about
"why" for the Standard-Version removal?

I know the answer is in the v2:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9532275/
but I'd like you to record it in git-log.

With the comment improved, I will pick up this soon.

Thanks!
