 Sent this to the mailing list a while ago but sticking it here so it
 doesn't get lost. As of today (9 March 2012) it still applies cleanly.

 The bundle contains four patches.  The first three are minor improvements.
 The last is a bigger addition, which tries to guess the right package
 dependencies to list in the build-depends field.

   * init: improve prompt: 'homepage' field is not for repos.

   * init: improve prompt: enclose y/n in parens

 Fri Oct 14 16:22:30 EDT 2011  Brent Yorgey <byorgey at cis.upenn.edu>
   * init: see whether source directory 'src' exists.
