As I'm now a destroyer^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hhappy user of Soyuz, it's great to
see how much work you guys are putting into taking an already incredibly
useful system to the next level.

I immediate began thinking about how I could pervert this system to my own
nefarious purposes.  Something like Py27Buntu might fit nicely into this
scheme.  It might be overkill though because such a thing would only have a
handful of packages that are modified from the parent, and about 700 or so
that would need to be rebuilt.  OTOH, it would be nice to have a more
efficient way of specifying the differences, triggering rebuilds, etc.
