So there are several phases and we're still near the begining but my design was
to borrow the upstream packaging as much as possible and just switch the
tarballs.  Yes this will require manual intervention but as you point out they
can be reported to you via the BTS.

Righrt now the plugin mandates Ubuntu, but that's only because we haven't done
the work to work on other deistros.
