Yes, this is the intention, but I would like you to try it (and I want
to try it in some different environments) before pushing it into mkusb's
stable PPA. This change might introduce a bug into mkusb - it should be
tested by more than one person before relying on it.

If you have both PPAs (the stable and the unstable), the newer version
from the unstable PPA will be installed. You can test it whichever way
you want, but you should use the stable PPA for the released version, so
to avoid forgetting it and releasing ToriOS with the unstable PPA, I
suggest that you test it manually and temporarily (not changing the
configuration in your scripts).
