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.
