IMHO, if the tools to build packages are going to change soon, it would
be better to wait until things settle down instead of showing people how
to use a tool that is going to be abandoned.
It wouldn't be good publicity to read complainings about how often we
change our package building procedure.
(Hey, we want those application developers out there to use deb format
for their packages. We must not show them a moving target.)
