If there turns out to be a significant issue with Darcs 1, I need to be
able to build a recent version of Darcs in my Debian stable chroot.

The alternative is to build a static version of Darcs that I can install on
my stable (soon to be oldstable) servers.  Last time I checked, building
static Darcs didn't work.

The alternative to both alternatives is to switch to git.
