Er, well how about that. When I last looked at the situation
it was so. But no, this flies in the face of that:
synrg@sanctuary:~$ apt-cache showpkg skipstone
Package: skipstone
Versions:
0.7.1.20010325-1(/var/lib/apt/lists/pandora.debian.org_%7erobot101_mozilla_Packages)
0.7-2(/var/lib/apt/lists/mirror.direct.ca_pub_linux_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages)
So it seems that the unofficial packages have now become official.
(Either that our I'm out of my tree, and it was there all along, and
the only issue was that the *latest* skipstone was only available
from http://pandora.debian.org/~robot101/)
OK, I'll have to see then if this can be included.

Hm, I see your point. Well, I'll have to downgrade my skipstone to the
latest Debian sid version and see whether it is suitable, then.
