Ok.  Well, the .debs won't change much for 0.53; I've taken enough time to get
the 0.52 .debs together that I think I have the packaging right with the first
release. :)

Maybe I'll spruce up the packaging in 0.53 with some internationalization
stuff, but other than that, I'll be waiting for bug reports.

The .debs have now been uploaded to Debian, and should start making their way
to the ftp servers within a day or so.  Packages are already built (and
tested -- including ODBC, built against iODBC and verified to work with
unixodbc, so binary compatibility here seems to be a go) for i386 and alpha
platforms, with other archen to follow soon.
