But, you me and azeem are the only ones building packages - I'm testing
some install scripts today, and azeem is away for the weekend. =)

Yup - And it will be the first thing that it builds when I go in Monday
morning and hit the reset button.  But dpkg is slightly different than

I've never looked into the details beyond that.
