Sure, that'd work fine for me.
I need to make sure it works well on various Ubuntu versions and squeeze
too, but that should be doable-ish.

Yeah, I'm basing my work off their packages, but for some of those we're
already in a bit of a mess, since there's the opscode-packages repo
which contains the debian/ dir for some of the packages uploaded to
Debian, and there's the svn stuff in pkg-ruby-extras. In addition,
there's obviously the stuff from upstream too.
I'm tempted to just drop the git/svn history and import the sources and
work from that. At least with a pointer to older history, not that much
is lost and it's more important to spend manpower on fixing the current
packages than looking back, IMO.
Thoughts?
