Various cleanup changes:

1) Removed unused buildout.cfg file
2) Removed unused debian directory
3) Reordered items in CHANGES.rst so that newer ones appear at the top
4) Moved all of the command alias function declarations together (to make it easier to chop them out)
- Command aliases are unnecessary and redundant, particularly due to the abbreviated command acceptance feature.
