When I saw what you did, I double-guessed it was a possibility of
failure to install, though I didn't test. No worries, shit happens.

Well, now we have an issue. Unfortunately, pbr kind of depends on itself
because of unit tests (it depends on packages that need pbr to be
installed). I know it isn't ideal to have this kind of build-dependency
cycle, but it's still nicer to run unit tests than not, so I ignored
this situation. If you have any suggestion ...

So I uploaded a degraded version without unit tests and doc, and I'll do
a 2nd upload when the new PBR package reaches Sid.
