To get the current source:

Install the bazaar, build-essential, libapt-pkg-dev, and python2.3-dev
packages from Hoary, then:

  baz register-archive http://people.ubuntu.com/~cjwatson/archives/colin.watson@canonical.com--2005
  baz get colin.watson at canonical.com--2005/cdimage--mainline--0 cdimage
  cd cdimage
  baz build-config configs/devel
  make -C britney/update_out

(This will all take a while.)

I've never used it outside the datacentre, though; it will certainly
need modifications.
