Implement incremental changelog generation for Debian packages 7c9f7dc8c9

Fixes #22: Improve Debian package changelog to show incremental version history

The Debian package changelog now includes the complete version history
instead of just changes since the previous release. This provides users
with full visibility into the software's evolution when reviewing
package updates.

Changes:
- Rewrote changelog generation to iterate through all git tags
- Generate entries for each tagged version in reverse chronological order
- Include current development version if commits exist after latest tag
- Fixed shellcheck warnings for better script quality
- Added -f flag to gzip to force overwrite existing changelog.gz files

Benefits:
- Complete version history visible in every package
- Standard Debian changelog format compliance
- Better integration with apt changelog and dpkg tools
- Improved transparency for users reviewing updates
- Proper audit trail for administrators

The changelog now shows all versions with their respective changes,
making it easier for users to understand what has changed between
their installed version and the available update.
