monitor_reconfig: Switch to new packaging style

Use dh(1).
Declare build-dependencies correctly.
Pass toolchain parameters correctly for cross-compilation.

I'm curious why we don't have the builder set CC, CXX, CFLAGS, etc. to the
proper values rather than doing that in the rules file(s)?

Also, is the plan to eventually always use an explicit toolchain even in the x86
case?

We could, although it was relatively low-win to attempt to do so since the bulk
of packages figure this out themselves using autoconf. Do you want this as a
TODO comment in chromiumos-build or something, perhaps?

I hadn't been planning to, as it doesn't seem to buy anything and the path of
least resistance is to just let scripts use gcc as they probably will by
default. Do you have a reason to change that?
