Post: Small improvements in the Debian package generator

PACKAGE_VERSION sets the epoch to 9, and the version component comes from the manifest file, separating both the date and time by a period (I think it’s still pretty readable for where it comes from)…

Post: info field in user table and "expires 20..."
