I was thinking that as we get closer to a release, we might want to bring
more regular snapshots in.  The version we have in Karmic at the moment is
about a month old, and I hear the 2.0 release is still a few weeks away.

I thought that if we bring in the latest code, we could help to chase out
more bugs before 2.0 is released.
