I believe the upstream debian/ directory is stripped out of source
tarballs.  I don't remember what I did when it came to upgrading to
1.3.0.  It wasn't a problem though.  It just isn't helpful. :-)

Sean did give me CVS commit access on sourceforge.  I haven't reenabled
my Savannah account for over a year; it should still exist though.

Now that time has passed, I'm glad Savannah didn't start supporting
"arch".  If ratpoison switched away from CVS, I would whole-heartedly
recommend darcs.

For better or worse, it looks like 1.3.0 is what will go into sarge.
Are there any bugfixes or updates in CVS that need to make it in that
aren't in Debian right now?
