There hasn't been any response to my message to builds@. Rather than ping it, I think it might be better to ask Infra to check into the missing package...

(See tools/dist/README.backport) Thanks for suggesting these alternate possibilities. If we can't get the package installed, one of these may be necessary. (The first seems to be the more expedient of the two, though the second might be better in the long run.) Cheers, Nathan
