Just for the record, +1 :) Releases are importantes, packaging snapshot
of git tree is not the most confortable way to package :)

As I said on Lubuntu mailing, we lack people with uploads rights for
tarballs. Could Martin Bagge / brother  be added to the list of people
which can do this ? :) He is currently the best Release Manager :)
