Many of the autobuilder packages are broken due to movements upstream.  This
is because the default repository used for them is either Debian 'testing'
or Debian 'unstable', which move on a daily basis.  There was a previous
suggestion that a less volatile repository be used, so that efforts don't
have to focus on a moving target.

I think we have two candidates:

Debian 'squeeze'
Release: Feb 2011
Supported until: next Debian + 1 year, guess 2014

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release: Apr 2012 (beta available in a few weeks)
Supported until: Apr 2017

Any opinions?  Ubuntu 12.04 is currently still a moving target, but since
they've already frozen their feed of Debian packages for this release I
think major changes are unlikely for the sort of packages we're interested
in (ie not stuff tightly coupled to the Ubuntu user experience).

Or any other ideas?
