I'll correct the versioning with the next set. Got a bit tired when I
altered the version info. 8-P Maybe I can simply stick with 2.0-0.tagset
and save 2.0-1 for the official. :)

These packages will eventually (If Adam approves them) be sponsored as a
part of debian testing. It's too late to make it into Sarge from what I
understand ( I could be wrong.)
