     I may wait on that for 1.2.x until after I've completed it for
1.3.x.  (I think v1.3.x is more likely to be the version that we put in
to Debian...)

     Those are done, included with the packaging for v1.2.25.

     That's the major thing holding up what I'm working on for a v1.2.25
Debian package.  I thought about doing this later, but there is the
issue that only the distributed archives have some kind of an archive
verification;  with an svn repo, one can say it came from a particular
tag but unlike with git (which is what I primarily use myself) it can't
easily be verified that it came from that.  Very much an issue since
1.2.25 is for a security fix.
