I think for any of the (rare?) elderly instalations, the alternative
installation strategies are sufficiently simple.

And after that, what command to rebuild just those two distributions?
Alternately: are the commands documented somewhere?

That appears to be the case. I am building on ubuntu 13.04.

I meant to include this link previously:
https://github.com/lcampagn/pyqtgraph/tree/deb_build

The 'deb' command just creates a deb_build directory and populates it with
the necessary pieces before calling `dh -us -uc`. The --force-version flag
is only needed to circumvent a changelog check that I built in.
