Actually, I kind of have a nit to pick with this, on the grounds
that a package might not be appropriate for any distribution on the
grounds of a completely unacceptable license (which I suppose would
mean that the appropriate distribution is the bitbucket and the
statement holds, but somehow it seems inelegant). After three false
starts, however, I've been unable to come up with anything that reads
better, so if nobody else has the same complaint, I'll withdraw this
objection.
