Moved the repository to a new URL: https://gitlab.com/nixtux-packaging/apt-btrfs-snapshot
Fixed building on Ubuntu 16.04 xenial by adding dh-systemd build dependency.

Also, made it depend from btrfsmaintenance of my own packaging which is
based on Debian's package, the changes are documented here:

Title:
  [Pull request] Move apt-btrfs-snapshot to daily systemd timers, drop
  python2 and other changes

Status in apt-btrfs-snapshot package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hello,
  I have created a fork of apt-btrfs-snapshot for my own usage and want to propose these changes for upstream.

  The code is here: https://gitlab.com/mikhailnov/apt-btrfs-snapshot
  Please have a look at it. Unfortunately, I have not understood how to
  send a pull request at Launchpad.

  Changes compared to the upstream version 3.5.1:

  * Systemd daily timer instead of weekly cron to clean old snapshots
  * Do not run the timer when on battery (with no AC power)
  * Force btrfs sync after snapshot deletions
  * Introduce etc/apt-btrfs-snapshot.conf.d/ directory for config files which are loaded in alpha-numerical order
  * /etc/apt-btrfs-snapshot.conf.d/10-default.conf is the default config, but other packages may put other configs into the config directory (for example, I want to override MaxAge on a group of machines and package my own config file /etc/apt-btrfs-snapshot.conf.d/20-my.conf); I will probably add such config to [system-autoupdate](https://gitlab.com/mikhailnov/system-autoupdate)
  * Default MaxAge to 15 days (2 weeks + 1 day) instead of 90 days to reduce problems with no empty space left on disk
  * Drop support for building with python2
