I guess it's only final until I get around to doing my own packaging
in hg. Meritocracy. git is a piece of shit, and the sooner we stop
using it, the better. I'm not sure git-buildpackage is all that great,
since we can't seem to get it working either.

I seem to have free time again, so I'll work on my version of the hg
packaging. May the best win.
