Hi Jiri!

Once it's shown that it works for all the package maintainers, I will tag
it which should create the tarballs automatically on the above link. But I
wanted to fix all the packaging bugs before doing so. I hope this doesn't
make it into a catch-22. Where you can't package till there's a source
tarball, but I can't make a source tarball until I know you can package
it ;-)
