FPM is super neat for creating distribution packages of binaries (deb, rpm, OSX "pkg", pkgin, you name it). Precondition is that there is a directory of files to package. We pretty much have this with the current "go run build.go deb" except it places some Debian metadata there as well.

We could skip the metadata, just create the desired structure, and have fpm package it for various distributions:

fpm -s dir -t rpm -n syncthing -v 0.14.3 -C $whateverDir

This would also simplify our Debian build process.

Then we just need to figure out how best to distribute RPMs etc.
