Are you absolutely sure this is necessary? It'll cause major headaches
for Ubuntu or Debian users with both official repos and the PPA active.
I could perhaps put a conflict with rabbitvcs-nautilus in the
rabbitvcs-nautilus3 package, but I don't know if that would result in
other problems.

Why not try to get that in too? I packaged that for Debian, and it was
ignored on Mentors and DPMT, but Adam Plumb should still have the
packaging info up on github (or wherever he put the code).

I don't think it is either. I'll check with Adam, but it's probably
compatible with whatever's in Ubuntu 11.10.
