I have now updated all the extensions except for one to use this model. I'm
fairly happy with it, the only annoying part is introducing a postinst/prerm
for each package to manage the alternatives. But it is pretty much the same
between RT4/RT5 so the overhead isn't too bad.

The only package I haven't updated is rt-extension-repeatticket because the
new 2.x series is RT5 only leaving 1.x for RT4. Before I upload this, I want
to check to see if my thinking is correct.

I've made rt-extension-repeatticket[0] for RT5 only, with the hope that'll
also work for RT6. I have created a rt4-extension-repeatticket source
package for building 1.x for RT4.

Can I just uploaded the source changes files for the rt-extension-
repeatticket and rt4-extension-repeatticket packages?

Cheers,
Andrew
