I'm happy to do so. Or you can. I don't mind. But, it's time for us to
add a Maverick package, so whoever does should include that/

And really, anyone running the current minus 2 LTS has no cause to
expect software updates.

Hmm. Why don't we just jump straight to that? NB that since Debian is in
pre-release freeze, it's entirely likely that Peter will not upload
that. Neither will it make its way into Ubuntu until some time after
Natty Narwhal repositories open for general updates.

In which case, are you familiar with bzr-builddeb's 'bzr merge-package'
command? We should definitely use it, it's the de-facto standard for
importing upstream versions into a packaging branch.

Documentation may be scarce. I'll see what I can find and/or write a
summary myself.
