0.14a to 0.17 is

0.14a to 0.17 with tornado excised is

So err, pretty big.  I don't think there are many/any 0.14a users. popcon
reports something like 66 total bup users, and that is for 0.14a-2 and 0.17b-2.

removing tornado from 0.17 is

I can't remember what the original diffstat I posted was calculated from.

A diff -ruN ... | diffstat between debian/0.14a-2 and debian/0.17b-2
(testing, unstable):

 63 files changed, 2100 insertions(+), 953 deletions(-)

Note that unstable at present depends on external libpython-tornado, so
cmd-web.py is still in there (but tornado is not).
