I just reworked the repositories, although I still think that one common
repository is the best way how to manage multiple versions, but I can
manage around it just fine. It's just matter of having multiple remotes.

There's a long term plan to have the upstream and Debian packaging in

each other as possible. And convert 10.1 to the new mechanism in a long
term.
