The main problem I'm having with looking at this is the size of the diff
that gets introduced as a result.  Even after ignoring the test suite,
the embedded copy of sqlite3 and the autoconf patches, I'm still left
with

 2061 files changed, 65055 insertions(+), 96419 deletions(-)

which isn't particularly fun. :-/

package in Squeeze, rather than being introduced as part of the upstream
tarball switch?
