Domen Vrankar 332b089ad2 CPack/DEB: Make package description variable precedence match RPM
Make `CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION` fallback variable precedence
match CPackRPM behavior as much as possible.  This is technically a
breaking change, but the new behavior is more consistent with
expectation anyway.

cpack-deb-package-description-fallback
--------------------------------------
* The :module:`CPackDeb` module gained a new
:variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_<COMPONENT>_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION`
variable for component-specific package descriptions.
* The :module:`CPackDeb` module changed its package description
override rules to match :module:`CPackRPM` module behavior.
If the :variable:`CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_FILE` variable is set to
a non-default location then it is preferred to the
:variable:`CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_SUMMARY` variable.
This is a behavior change from previous versions but produces
more consistent and expected behavior.
See :variable:`CPACK_DEBIAN_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION`.
