I can't prevent you folks to play with it and build a package even
though I'm still thiking it's a bit too early and we'd better sort out
the Debian specific patches first....

So, if you want to have some 4.0.9 (or 4.0.10) builds:

Use that last method....then build packages which I will upload to
experimental when you'll think they're ready.
