Unfortunately they require using a Subversion repository. One of the
big advantages of Alioth is that I don't have to use Subversion
repositories for my packages :-)

If I could use the Bazaar repository on Alioth, I'd be happy to join.

Because 'python-central' didn't support debhelper v7...

... and thank you for pointing out that 'python-central' 0.6.7 *does*
support debhelper v7, which I hadn't noticed. Fixed.

The 'lintian' I have on my 'testing' workstation complains if I do
that ("newer-standards-version 3.8.0 (current is 3.7.3)"), but
alright, done.

Thanks very much for the feedback.
