The problem I'm expecting is this: an Ubuntu user who has the PPA installed
for, say, 12.04 will find that when *we* release a new version and publish
in our PPA, they can't simply upgrade "rabbitvcs-nautilus". It won't be
obvious though, and they'll probably experience major problems when they
try to upgrade Ubuntu's "rabbitvcs-nautilus", which contains the nautilus 3
extension, to our "rabbitvcs-nautilus", a package which actually contains
the extension for nautilus 2.

If you're willing to fix the issues you can probably upload the package

Um, no thanks :) Someone else can deal with getting packages into Debian
now. If I fix the issues I'll notify whoever's packaging rabbitvcs for
Debian.

Cheers,
Jason
