Heh, thats the idea.  :-)

Little things that few notice, apparently -- I would've sworn slink
and 2.2.0-final work perfectly until someone pointed out that
/usr/sbin/procinfo complains.   Been running 2.1.1xx in production
with frozen for months.

I'd say at least include a source package for whatever 2.2.0 is
available at the moment of release, so we get the bragging rights.
:-)   A deb would be even more impressive.

It may be hopeless fantasy, but I'd like to believe our users aren't
this helpless.
