Oops sorry about that. I don't think we can remove .0 now if we want
continuity from experimental. We can however easily move this time to
1:7.1.0-1, which is almost as good. In fact almost even technically
correct since upstream could use "7.1.1" to represent an all-module
emergency release.
I'll put 1:7.1.0-1 into trunk without uploading, so you've got a day or
two to change it to something else before we upload the rest of X11R7.1
into unstable.
