I would like to merge this into distro-tracker then, because I want
derivatives to be able to easily track new upstream versions of their
own packages as well.
(And this is not only wishful thinking, Kali now has its own
distro-tracker setup: http://pkg.kali.org)
This probably requires some heavy refactoring of the current Task
mechanism but that's something I want to do anyway.

I should study that to get some good inspiration for distro-tracker's
Task refactoring, then I guess. :)
That said it would still be nice to have a look at the current "dehs"
and kick it back into a working state. It's probably not so hosed
that it's unrecoverable.
