Well, the beta release tag is layed down and tarballs have been made,
so there is no problem committing more fixes to CVS. This release
is only, after all, a codefreeze release before the 2.0final release,
and that will only be for a couple of weeks.

Perhaps we can have a distro directory for build scripts in each
module, instead of keeping them all in one module (e.g. ggi-core/distro)
Would that allow you to accomplish what you want?
The reason to keep them separate, especially for debian, is so that
if our distro files get old, and a maintainer for that distro wants to
modernize or rewrite the packaging scripts but is not a SF user, we
have not put stuff in their way.
