Subject: [PATCH] builddeb: Update a few outdated and hardcoded strings

The builddeb script has some hardcoded references to linux version 2.6
which is ancient. Use a variable instead in order to keep in sync with
new releases and avoid the need to manually update this. In addition,
change the copyright notice to include the year 2016.
