Hi

debian/rules only supports two values for DEB_VENDOR: Debian and Ubuntu. As 
derivative distributions put other values in this variable, libreoffice cannot 
be built there.

With this patch DEB_VENDOR is always initialized to either Debian or Ubuntu 
depending on which the host distribution derives from.

This problem was found when trying to build libreoffice on ubuntuBSD but is 
likely to affect other derivative distributions.
