[Serusers] Improper Debian Build Depends

The ser-0.8.10 sources contain a debian sub-directory for building
debian packages.  However the control file in this directory lists
incomplete and improper build dependancies for the package.

Currently the dependancies are listed as:

Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 3.0.0), libmysqlclient-dev, libexpat1-dev,
fakeroot

While they should be:

Build-Depends: debhelper (>> 3.0.0), libmysqlclient-dev, libexpat1-dev,
zlib1g-dev

Fakeroot is not a necessary package for building the Debian ser package.  
It simply makes it easier to build the package as a non-root user.
