Yes -- that hack was never intended to be good enough for a real release :)

Well, I was, but if you have created and tested a clean patch that fixes
things, there's no longer any real need for that, is there?

One more piece of this puzzle: there seems to be something about getting
versions of this code somehow approved by ARRL or made "official" in
some way.  I don't understand the details, but Dave Aitcheson KB3EFS
said he was "doing the authorization dance with
ARRL" regarding these packages.

Assuming such approval is useful/beneficial, we probably want to do that
"official ARRL stamp of approval" thing with the packages that actually
end up in Debian and Ubuntu, not with the ones from my PPA :)

Lastly, if that ARRL approval thing means we should make the version
string say "official" rather than "unofficial" in our packages, then we
will need to get that approval *before* uploading them to Debian, so we
can add the relevant ./configure parameter to our debian/rules file.
