No problem, it doesn't hurt if I keep the current form of the JGU
package around a few months more. I just wanted to test the waters and
see whether there's actually anyone who still needs this.

That's just the easy part. There are a bunch of other files in
conflict between the two packages. If you want to have a look at all
the hoops you have to jump through to makes the packages coexist, take
a look at the `override_dh_auto_install` goal in my
debuild/debian/rules file [1] and the layout of the resulting package
[2]. I wouldn't want *anything* resembling this in our source,
considering that all this is just a temporary workaround at the
packaging level anyway.

But as I said, it's not a big deal, I'll just keep the "dual install"
version around until GSoC is over.
