I've been thinking about this in the last few days, and whether or not
we should automatically build packages every night if there is new code.
Overall I came down against that plan, for the simple reason that it
doesn't fit with how trunk works. I don't want to commit some crazy code
and break loads of peoples' ability to use terminals the following day!

I *think* the packaging should be fairly stable at the moment, but I
need someone to confirm my changes - hopefully nxvl since he's the
Debian/Ubuntu maintainer for Terminator :)

I certainly wouldn't object to it, but I think co-ordination is the key.
For example, right now trunk has the beginnings of support for layout
saving, but it's not ready for wider use, so I'd like to split that out
onto a separate branch before we do 0.90 betas.
