If it's at all useful, note that the original versions of these that I
committed as debathena-time-config were set up with TRANSFORM_FILES; I
ditched that due to some other build system issues but I think there were
some transforms there that worked on dapper.  (At least, if I remember
correctly; this was a while ago; feel free to ignore, etc.)

I haven't been able to build debathena-athdir in a while, due to
mkinstalldirs etc. not getting propogated to the build environment with
the execute bit set.  (Is this due to debhelper version skew between
build servers?)  I mentioned this a while back but it hadn't make it to
the top of the stack for me yet and nobody else seemed inspired to poke
at it.  Anyway, not intentional, happy to have it replaced, etc.

This should actually get specifically nuked; someone found it browsing
the respository and thought it looked useful and almost installed it.

(Nothing else to comment on otherwise; the list seems sane.)
