I haven't looked closely at the makefile, and don't know what the strip
target does. But "make world" should be equivalent to "make all; make
install; make strip". Why not just leave out the stripping?

Yes, we can do the merge now, and maybe upload packages with the new
layout (and libpaper support etc.) to experimental. If we need to do
uploads targetted at etch, either through unstable or
testing-proposed-updates, I would keep with the old layout.
