personally, I'd like to revert back to a position where the builder of P5 (whether it
be Lou or Jenkins) simply has the current public release of the styesheets
installed (either by hand or by a Debian package), and the P5 build
refers to it in a standard place. It needs to be part of the _Stylesheets_ release
process to check that it does not break P5, I think.

if the P5 build throws up a problem in the stylesheets, we pause the release
process and make a new Stylesheets release, slowly and surely.

is there a downside to this?
