I definitely intend to test this on my cluster laptop, which I've
intentionally been keeping as unmodified as possible; I'll also test it on
SIPB's cluster test machines, and probably on either an XVM virtual
machine or one of the actual W20 cluster machines (which I'll then
reinstall).
I guess running the debathena-cluster that depends on debathena-thirdparty
through -development (to test it on my laptop first) would also be a good
idea.
