Hang on, the plan has been to bump versions whenever something goes
wrong during the packaging process.  Would it still be a PITA?

I don't mind either way.  The important thing is for us to be
(i) doing something about the quality control, which basically boils
down making a release candidate (or staging) *even for point releases*
and (ii) coordinating between at least the RM and our Windows/MacOS X
packagers to have a simultaneous source/binary release

Taking Stephen (and Joachim's) advice to heart: anybody building
Darcs packages who wants to comment?  Salvatore and Florian are our
Windows and MacOS X packagers.  Anything to add, guys?
