[OE-core] [PATCH] package_deb.bbclass: Handle colons in dependencies

[Peter Kjellerstedt]

Perl dependencies may look as "Perl(Foo::Bar)", but dpkg does not
support the non-alphanumeric characters. There was already special
handling present for turning '(' and ')' into '__'. This change does
the same for ':'.
