RC bug, get the package removed until the rules file is readable.
This just convinces me that debian/rules MUST be a makefile. I'm just
going to go and file an important bug against shoop, along with
another one for having version number 1.0 yet not being a native
package (perhaps that's wrong as he appears to be an upstream devel as
well). Maybe I should up the severity to RC for the time being?
