Bug#919590: RFS: openliberty/18.0.0.4 [ITP]

Hi Michael,

As much as I'd appreciate your effort trying to create a package for
Debian, but I have to say the packaging is unacceptable.

> https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/o/openliberty/openliberty_18.0.0.4.dsc

The present packaging might be fine to third party deb package
repositories, but it doesn't meet Debian's requirements and there are
too many policy[1] violations. 

For example, I caught many unacceptable lines in d/rules:

```
 25 mkdir -p 
/home/travis/build/was-lighthouse/openliberty-rpmdeb/debuild/openliberty/debian/openliberty/opt/openliberty
 26 tar -zxf ../openliberty-*.tar.gz -C 
/home/travis/build/was-lighthouse/openliberty-rpmdeb/debuild/openliberty/debian/openliberty/opt/openliberty
```

Long description is missing. Short description far exceeds 80 chars.
source/format being "3.0 (native)" is also questionable.

Please refer the documentations https://www.debian.org/doc/ for
guidance on creating packages in good shape. Thanks.
