That's another great idea.  Because updating a stale Debian package is one of
the most common reasons that I build a package.  And because we have the
source for the older Debian version, it makes the build easier.

Please bring the old Debian source (apt-get source frotz) and the latest
upstream on a laptop to save us the download time.

Let's do this one and a Perl module.  I think we can do both in one evening.
Though we will probably run past 9PM.
