Eh? Shurely this is backwards? The deb packages are a way of 
distributing the release, argal they are a version of it, argal they 
can't be created until it is finalised, in all its raging glory.

It's true that we use the deb packages to build the build environment 
(such is the glorious recursivity of the tei) but conceptually at least, 
we should be using the packages from release n-1 to build release.
